That...is not exactly what the study says.

"In this study, index patients were defined as the first household members with COVID19–compatible symptoms who received a positive SARS reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test result, and who lived with at least one other household member."

See a problem?

First, we know a high percentage of COVID infected patients are ASYMPTOMATIC.

Second, we know children are asymptomatic more than adults.

Third, there is suspicion that symptomatic children transfer the virus more often than asymptomatic ones.

I think this study is important, but Frieden is overstating the findings.
