“In wave 2, living with children was associated with an increased risk of recorded SARS-CoV-2 infection and covid-19 related hospital admission but was not associated with ICU admission.”
Of course it is the resulting onward transmission that further increases risk.

Interestingly “Living with children aged 0-11 years was associated with a reduced risk of death from covid-19 in both wave 1 and wave 2; we observed no increase in risk of death for those living with older children.”
Not SO surprising in that parents of younger children are likely to be younger & less vulnerable.
The risk of increased hospitalisation & deaths lies in the greater risk of onward transmission to more vulnerable people.
More transmission = eventually more hospitalisation/death

🇩🇰 Danish study.
📍MORE KIDS PER HOUSEHOLD ➡️ MORE RISK OF #COVID19: Danish study of 3 million adults—Increasing number of children, means much higher risk of #SARSCoV2 in adults household members. By high much?
📌2 young kids—13% ⬆️ risk
📌3+ young kids—42% ⬆️ risk

Here too are some reflections from @DrZoeHyde on the limitations of the study linked in tweet one.
Not for the first time they are conducted when schools are largely partly closed.
