The risk of children under 18 developing serious illness or dying from Covid-19 is very slim, said researchers, who found a death rate of 0.005% in England—lower than initially thought wsj.com/articles/in-ch… via @WSJ

Very comprehensive study- can help ease some of the parents' fears about school opening

"studies all related to time periods that predated the emergence of the Delta variant that is now dominant in both the U.K. and the U.S.,.. authors said there was as yet no evidence that the variant causes more severe illness or death among children.". Hope reassuring to you

Hope parents reassured by this largest study & look at the data above. Someone wrote me today saying CDC school guidance coming out tomorrow - we can only hope the CDC consider epidemiology, impact of school closures & acts accordingly
