[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely agree with the covid shutdowns, in order to save the vulnerable, especially the elderly. But it's an observed fact that covid is less risky for children than normal flu. Here's a link to a May 5 analysis.

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
