A 12-year-old Georgia girl sickened by the novel coronavirus is reportedly “fighting for her life,” CNN reports. Meanwhile, the fact that an adolescent with no underlying health conditions is sick with this disease is calling into question the conventional wisdom that the virus spares young and healthy people.
The young lady, Emma, was diagnosed with pneumonia back on March 15, and went into an Atlanta hospital. On Saturday, she was officially diagnosed with COVID-19. By Sunday, she was on a ventilator.
As of this writing, her family says that she is in “stable” condition.
It’s not clear, as of this writing, how the young lady came down with the virus, says her cousin, Anthony. She hadn’t traveled recently, and she had no underlying health conditions.
“People need to practice social distancing. People need to take care of their children. People need to take this seriously,” he said.
