I just saw some recent data via talk that says: (1) viral load can be quite high in asymptomatic, even compared to symptomatic, and (2) viral load doesn't change much across age demographics, even at 1-10 yo category.  While #1 makes sense, #2 seems really odd to me given lack of transmission in schools as much as we'd expect.

Where's the data behind your claim of "lack of transmission in schools"?

You removed the "as much as we'd expect" part, which changes what I said.  There's definitely transmission, but you'd expect more super spreader events.  Totally possible there are plenty of those cases that are undocumented or I simply haven't seen because I'm not focused on this aspect of the pandemic.  I see you have posted data to counter BC, but given the conditions of these schools (indoor, somewhat packed, long duration, questionable ventilation) is transmission pattern same as we see in college populations or Rose Garden events?
