A University of Alberta study found that more than one-third of children who contract COVID-19 are asymptomatic, which indicates that far more kids could be infected than previously thought.

The researchers emphasized the importance of their data, saying there is probably a lot more COVID-19 in the community, as these children who do not develop the most common signs of cough, runny nose, and sore throat, are not diagnosed.

“When we see reports of 1,200 new cases per day in the province of Alberta, that’s likely to be the tip of the iceberg — there are likely many people who don’t know they have the disease and are potentially spreading it,” said Dr. Finlay McAlister, an internist at the University of Alberta Hospital, according to Science Magazine.

McAlister and his team studied the results of 2,463 youngsters who were tested for COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic. They found that 1,987 children had a positive result but that 35.9% were asymptomatic.

  1. It’s very disappointing that the trolls who are sure to comment on this story (or may already have commented, but their comments haven’t yet been approved) will be here with their usual “Sheeple” comments.
    What ever happened to originality? Variety? Taking pride in your craft? It’s been months since “Ostrich” or other trollisms were used; now it’s all “Sheeple” all the time.
    C’mon, trolls – you can do it! Make us proud!
    Spaseba.

  2. Oh come on! Stop it already about this coronavirus nonsense. It’s boring. Get to alien invasion.
