In part 1 Dr. Bowdish discusses how the virus spreads and why this might be different between children and adults. (Short answer= children spread less because they are more likely to be asymptomatic and less likely to cough\/sneeze when they are infected than adults.) Topics covered in this presentation include: 1) Which countries have successfully opened schools and why? 2) Why droplet size matters? Coughs and sneezes spread more than talking\/breathing. 3) Symptoms that differ between adults and kids. 4) Priority #1 for keeping schools safe &#8211; keep people with symptoms, no matter how mild out.<\/p>\n<p>To download the slides used in this talk see click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowdish.ca\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2020-08-31-SARS-CoV-2-and-back-to-school-part-1v2.pptx\">here<\/a>.
