If children are not as likely to spread virus, that's big for public schools.

This is my world so I find this highly interesting. One theory with this child is that the other two viral infections essentially competed for resources with COVID and made COVID fail on that child who had Flu and Picornovirus at the same time.

Kids are just viral bombs, good for my business!

We met with our pediatrician today for our kid's 1 year check up and got another couple routine vaccines. She shared with us the estimated projections of how many children are going to miss or delay some really important vaccines in their early years while all this going on. Whether it's parents not being able to afford it, Dr offices closed, parents are afraid to leave. She wasn't a "doomer" about it but just food for thought of another possible issue from everything happening. Just curious if you had any thoughts on it and if there could actually be clusters of these controllable diseases in kids pop up over time.

That is a concern of the AAP and many pediatricians. The national guideline today is to continue with well child exams if they need vaccines and delay non vaccine visits at this time.
