How Dangerous Is COVID-19 to Your Kids?

In 2020, there were 1266 kids <16 killed in traffic accidents.

From January 2020 to August 18, 2021 318 people under 18 died of COVID-19.

If you are terrified of sending your kids to school because of COVID-19, do not let them go anywhere by car.

From CDC:

Abstract

Children do not seem to drive transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We isolated culture-competent virus in vitro from 12 (52%) of 23 SARS-CoV-2–infected children; the youngest was 7 days old. Our findings show that symptomatic neonates, children, and teenagers shed infectious SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that transmission from them is plausible.

Okay they may well bring it home, but CDC is reporting 

"Children do not seem to drive transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)."

Be careful.   Wash your hands regularly.  If you feel the need, wear N95 compliant masks (I just bought some USA made ones on Amazon MedicPro). Unlike the cheap and not-NIOSH KN95 Chinese ones these wash and keep filtering.
