Trevor Noah On Schools Reopening: ‘Parents Aren’t The Only Ones In Danger’

PAY attention, class: Trevor Noah is educating audiences on the potential dangers of sending kids back to school amid the COVID-19 crisis.

On Tuesday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Noah weighed the risks of “adorable super-spreaders” bringing the virus home to their families or infecting their teachers, and joked about how pandemic concerns might alter students’ in-school interactions.

Though children appear to be less susceptible to the respiratory illness, Noah cited a study out of South Korea suggesting that minors over the age of 10 can spread COVID-19 at the same rate as adults.

“You know some parents are going to try to brag about this,” Noah quipped. “‘Little Timmy is only 13, but apparently he spreads COVID at a college level.’ … I’m not a scientist, but of course teenagers can spread coronavirus everywhere. Just think of how well they spread rumors.”
