Children and young people are far less likely than adults to get severe cases of COVID-19 infection, and death from the pandemic disease among children is exceptionally rare, according to UK research published last summer.
A study of COVID-19 patients admitted to 138 hospitals in Britain found that less than 1% were children, and of those fewer than 1% – or six in total – died, all of whom were already suffering serious illness or underlying health disorders.
“We can be quite sure that COVID in itself is not causing harm to children on a significant scale,” said Malcolm Semple, a professor of outbreak medicine and child health at Britain’s University of Liverpool, who co-led the work.
“The highest level message really has to be that (in children with COVID-19) severe disease is rare, and death is vanishingly rare – and that (parents) should be comforted that their children are not at direct harm by going back into school,” he told a briefing.
Global data on the spread of the coronavirus pandemic shows that children and young people make up only 1-2% of cases of COVID-19 worldwide. The vast majority of reported infections in children are mild or asymptomatic, with few recorded deaths.
For this study, published in the BMJ medical journal, Semple’s team looked at data from 651 babies and children under 19 who were hospitalized with COVID-19 between Jan. 17 and July 3.

This isn’t abuse. Every one of these kids is there voluntarily. If this kind of sh!t had happened in my high school, most of the band members would have quit.

I wear two masks so I can cut holes in one of them.
How utterly ridiculous.
This is beyond ridiculous, libs are ridiculous. People have lost there minds.
We’re now living in a “South Park” episode.
every one of these kids is a loser to put up with this crap...
I agree,hardly child abuse. The writer is an idiot.
.
Agreed. It’s absurd, but hardly “abuse”. If these writers saw what they did to us when I was in school, they’d have a very different perspective on what actually constitutes “abuse”.
The snowflakes in school today have it made.
How do the trombones play in those?
Science!!!
