Plus there’s a very strong relationship between this disease and age. I’d find it hard to believe that a kid has never passed it to an adult but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the risk was tiny. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-52470838 " young children do not transmit the virus "...." dont have the receptors to catch the disease " ...so it says Im in the starting blocks to get round to the grandsons already Edited May 1, 2020 by gnasher16 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s fair to say the risk is low. Another puzzler is how smokers aren’t getting ill like non smokers! They have hypothesised that niquotine actually protects you in some way I can’t remember. Possibly prevents the immune system overreacting? They’re trialing it now and of course everyone has panic bought patches! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah the current hypothesis is that it’s the nicotine that’s active. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,988 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 That's the 1 balaur, looks scarey. Worse part with all this and kids is that if kids end up in hospital with cv19 they'll have to be in alone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
