The statistics for Sweden in the age range 0 - 19 years is:

175 000 with disease
(certainly a minimum figure since for the first half year or so of the pandemic hardly any testing was carried out)

80 treated in ICU

15 deceased

That makes the risk of ending up in ICU if you catch COVID-19 in that age range: 0.046%
- ie roughly 5 / 10 000

And risk of dying due to COVID-19: 0.0086%
- ie roughly 9 /100 000

I expect that very many of those unfortunate to get such a serious disease and even succumbing to it were people with severe co-morbidities.

As a comparison the statistics for measels (prior to vaccination) ca 2 / 1000 would get encephalitis.

The mortality was about 2 - 3 / 10 000.

>> 0.0086%

Pretty much the same in the US — though, the numbers have risen into the 0.015% area on a few occasions.
