closeCorrection to conclusion #3?
Posted by Jonathan_Ewbank__www.erinha.eu on 15 Jul 2022 at 16:03 GMT
In this excellent and thorough review, the third conclusion, "while the 4 seasonal coronaviruses are thought to predominantly infect young children and generally cause mild respiratory disease, cohort and surveillance studies have shown that the incidence of seasonal coronavirus infection does necessarily decline with age", is at odds with what is written earlier and with the data shown in Figure 3A. Perhaps the intended text was "the incidence of seasonal coronavirus infection does NOT necessarily decline with age"?

Hi Jonathan: Thank you so much for your comment. You are absolutely right; unfortunately, we only found this typo post-publication.
