The chance an asymptomatic kid infects another kid that results in them being hospitalized from COVID is 1 in 42 million.
This is *thousands of times* lower than their risk from bicycles, school buses and swimming pools.
Parents take far greater risks with their kids every day.

Doubt it’s quite that low, but it’s pretty low (think this is an example of a common statistical mistake of attempting to multiply probabilities, and it doesn’t really work that way). Anywway, anti-vaxxers driving like mad but refusing to get the jab, etc. Makes no sense.
Don’t want a life of hiding inside crying due to minor and easily-ameliorated risks, but a lot of people sure seem to want that very much.
