"In reality, the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy," said Alberto Zangrillo, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in the northern region of Lombardy, which has borne the brunt of Italy's coronavirus contagion.
"The swabs that were performed over the last 10 days showed a viral load in quantitative terms that was absolutely infinitesimal compared to the ones carried out a month or two months ago," he told RAI television.
Zangrillo said some experts were too alarmist about the prospect of a second wave of infections and politicians needed to take into account the new reality.

Also, as I've pointed out, the debate around kids and schools has been hugely anti-science. Kids are near invulnerable and aren’t good spreaders. Now we have further real world evidence as WSJ reports European countries who have opened schools have seen no transmission increase and no school clusters.
