The article also does not mention the definition of "children". Under 10? Under 18? Under 21? If you count teenagers hanging out and spreading it as children, the number for very young children could still be as low as we thought and there are no new revelations here.

Here is the actual report: http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_ar...

It is broken down by age group.

These are extreme percentages at these young age groups. Now to compare these numbers internationally we certainly need to know the cofactors. Are these all obese or diabetic, or are these healthy teenagers? If they were healthy, it points to a different virus strain. If obese, it points to the well-known national sugar problem.

Also it could point to less exposure to common cold antibodies, this is the south. Common cold antibodies are believed to be the cause for the low IFR percentages worldwide.

It links to the report, which says "<18" at the top.
