Concerned coronavirus is riskier in Children than people think ??

[nonameme]

Firstly, I'm not trying to 'scaremonger' or otherwise influence anything. Governments will do what they do regardless. I am aware of Children delaying education, and concern for school as Childcare for jobs and the economy.

I've been trying to find studies on coronavirus and Children.

I found this European study -

www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642(20)30177-2/fulltext

582 cases, 4 tragic deaths.

0.69% fatality rate.

That's a whole fucking lot higher rate than flu in Children.

Please, Please don't think I'm trying to scaremonger, I would be happy to see proof to the contrary, I'm trying to think that this study was at a time where testing capacity in some of the countries studied out with hospitals was low, that there are some asymptomatic cases, that we will know more.

If we allow COVID to rip through our schools though ?? Which it absolutely WILL without a lot of measures in place. The nonsense about Kids not spreading has been well debunked.

I'm honestly not trying to scaremonger but that rate scared me..

Does anyone else feel the same ??

”As I said earlier up the thread, in my tutor group alone, 2 children have been left with lungs scarred so badly they cannot get upstairs and need to use the lift.”

Breathlessness post-Covid or CT scan confirmed pulmonary fibrosis? Do you have any evidence to suggest a link between Covid19 and PF especially in adolescents?

Am not entirely sure I'd trust Mosquito on figures and stats given their pronouncements on previous threads (not covid related) btw...
