The coronavirus has claimed the lives of at least one infant and one teenager, despite the consensus of the medical community that children and teens are more or less immune from the virus, The L.A. Times reports.
What we know about the coronavirus so far is that children and teenagers can and certainly do contract the virus and carry it home to their families. That’s why schools across the world are shut down; not to keep kids from getting the virus and getting sick, but from getting the virus and bringing it home to their friends and relatives.
Indeed, health researchers say that children who contract the virus will have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. That’s generally believed to be the case with COVID-19 with almost all adults, that the people most at-risk are the elderly and those with underlying health conditions such as compromised immune systems.
