How Should I Think About School & Child Care Now - By Emily Oster - ParentData⁠↗

Imagine your child actually gets COVID-19. What should you expect?  First, there is about a 50% chance they’ll be totally asymptomatic (based on various things, including this French study). If they do have symptoms, in the vast majority of cases, those will be mild and short term. Last week, The Lancet published this excellent study on about 1700 symptomatic COVID-19 cases in children. The most common symptoms were headache and fatigue, and the average duration of symptoms was 6 days, with 75% of children having symptoms for a week or less.
