Det finns inget som helst belägg för att barn smittar vuxna, inte ens efter +170 000 inrapporterade fall. Det räcker gott för mig!
Du kan ju intala dig själv det. Senaste är att asymptomatiska smittar mycket mer än man innan trott. Hela grejen med att man inte trott barn smittar så mycket är pga att man trodde asymptomatisk smitta inte var aktuellt, men nu är det ju det.

"The evidence so far would suggest that children, at least in China, many children have gotten infected and have ... either had a very mild illness or not had any illness at all," Reingold told CNN, adding that's a pattern seen in many other respiratory viruses that are easily transmitted among children and by children.

Reingold explained that historically, during previous outbreaks of the flu, including H1N1 in 2009, early school closures at least delayed the peak of the outbreak.
