Data on infected children are missing
But even Neuwirth can say little about the question of how much children actually contribute to the infection process. Studies from Israel, the US and Australia have only confirmed that they contribute something, explains the statistics professor. It is not clear if more, less or as much as adults.
To clarify this, age statistics are needed for testing. In this way, one could filter how many children test positive for every 100,000 children. “These data do not exist”, criticizes the statistician.
Growth in Lower Vienna
There is currently data chaos during testing. The epidemiological registry of residents has collapsed several times in recent days and countless late registrations have distorted the statistical analysis.
However, according to the statistician, the number of people hospitalized is significant, and this shows: “Upper Austria is skyrocketing”. There are also dramatic events in Carinthia, which not long ago was a model student in the fight against pandemics. Vienna is also at a high level, but growth is significantly lower compared to population.
