In no way was this ever left out of the discussion. This is a major part of the reason for all the virtual schooling that happened last year.

There were some early reports that children weren’t spreading COVID, and to my knowledge that data was correct. Delta changed that due to the ease with which it spread. But even in the context of early COVID variants, transmission from students to at risk adults was a common topic.
