>> It assumes that if a kid gets a fever first ... then the kid got covid and passed it to the adult.

> This is a bad way to infer the direction of transmission.

do you think that skews statistics worse than declaring a person died of covid when they only died with covid, and launching a disciplinary investigation of the license of a senior physician who pointed out that there is a checkbox on the death certificate for exactly this declaration? When coupled with a 5 figure dollar bonus to the hospital for the number of "of covids" they came up with?

but anyway, you think that so many more children caught it from their parents than from their peers AND the timing of the temperature measurements was always skewed in the wrong direction, that the errors don't wash, and that the researchers aren't as good at considering this as you are?
