This is only true for Children under 10. Children over 10 transmit contract and transmit at similar rates. Considering 11 is when puberty kicks in for many kids

  That article puts people in 10 year bins, so it is not useful to determine what the cutoff age should be with more granularity than 10 years of age. However, Sweden did not close school for children through 14 years of age. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/how-sweden-wasted-rare-opportunity-study-coronavirus-schools https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/how-sweden-wasted-ra... And their excess mortality rates for that age group are indistinguishable from other European countries: https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps When you go to that link, near the bottom select graphs by age and see that Sweden ages 0-14 looks like all the other countries shown there. I think that is a pretty good indication. We have a country that kept their schools open and a number of countries that did not, and the results look the same. EDIT: in fact, the excess mortality for that age group looks indistinguishable from other years.
