Quote: "For children, the risk of dying from Covid-19 appears to be much less than that of dying from influenza and pneumonia even in the most pessimistic of my three scenarios. From age 15 onward the Covid risk is higher, with the relative difference peaking for those in the 45 through 54 age group, whose risk of dying from Covid-19 in my middle scenario is four and a half times higher than their influenza and pneumonia mortality rate in 2018."

Covid is serious, but less so for children. If you have credible data about long term complications, please post it.

And in the 3 months since that article they have figured out that even those without symptoms can get serious lung damage

Please show me evidence. I seriously would like to see it.

This. I’ve never heard people say kids don’t get it.

It would be nice if our government funded a study but in the meantime you have the word of doctors here is one https://www.winknews.com/2020/07/17/health-officials-worry-about-long-term-effects-of-covid-19-on-kids/

Don’t be irresponsible PP, this is a direct quote from the article...
It would be irresponsible for me to say, ‘There will never be any long term’ because we just don’t know. But it’s also problematic to say in 20 years, there’s going to be all of these problems because we just don’t know that.

Summation: They don’t know what they don’t know.

I thought the subject was going to be concerned for kids because of lack of school and social activities.

Same here, I read children have gained an average of 7 pounds since March, that’s a lot of weight for a small body over such a short period of time.

This is the parents’ fault.

I'm not getting more concerned. COVID is worrying, of course. I live in a hotspot that is now pretty well controlled. 2% of hospitalizations for COVID in my state were for people under 19. Zero deaths have been in people under 30. I know a lot of families now where the whole family has gotten it and all the kids have had mild cases. I've seen no reports of local cases at our reopened daycares or camps. I can understand why people are worried and I think we should be cautious, but a high level of fear over kids is misplaced. Now if I was living with elders...

There’s a lot of conjecture and no proof. The elusive “they say...”
There isn’t one study that has been released showing asymptomatic children have suffered lung damage.

You’re an idiot. How will anyone have credible data about long term effects? This has been around for less than 6 months, which is why it’s problematic to make blanket statements like “Covid is less serious for children.” You have literally no idea what long term effects of infection will be.

+10000 But still...how can it be he parents' fault? Apparently it has become common knowledge that the schools and the government are responsible for everything and parents no longer are. People on other threads would even risk their kids getting COVID because the schools are necessary for preventing child abuse.

Maybe if this mindset would shift, people wouldn't need the schools to keep their kids healthy, not fat, socialized, safe from abuse, etc. This is an opportunity for people to develop personal responsibility again and to become examples to others. Because in the end, that is the root cause of most of society's ills. It's time for people to grow up and stop making excuses. More people should try it. It's very liberating.

You think the Trump administration is going to fund that?
