What are main premises of this piece?
-We can discuss risk vs benefits of all restrictions now in presence of vaccine for adults
-50% decrease in last 4 weeks of covid among children with adult vax in US (like seen in other countries)
-we go through calculation of how low a risk

rates in country with adult vax making children low risk while we await trials of covid-19 vax in young kids (probably late fall?)
-CDC is group that thinks about risks vs benefits just like UK did for kids when unmasked in school May 17 - thanks @CDCgov for reading this!
