    Good news for kids and parents!
    New Study: Children are much less likely to fall seriously ill

    Children's immune systems seem to be better prepared for coronavirus attacks than those of adults. According to a new study, this probably explains why children are much less likely than adults to become severely ill with Covid-19.

    The cells of the upper respiratory tract are already on heightened alert in children and can quickly fight the virus in the event of infection before it massively multiplies, writes a team led by lung researcher Irina Lehmann of Berlin Charité in the journal Nature Biotechnology.

    Of course, there is always this one child in the media who became very ill with covid, but fortunately these are extreme exceptions and not infrequently diagnosed by pre-existing conditions.

    • Good news, everyone!nb
    • good luck not getting downvoted by the mob who doesn't want fear be taken away from their self identity.pr2
    • lol, you’re scared of a vaccine, and masks!monospaced
    • Also, this isn’t news. We ALWAYS knew kids we’re nearly all safe from covid complications. But they can still contract and spread it asymptotically.monospaced
    • That is the point of this and why it’s important to mask and vaccinate still. And that’s why he isn’t downvoted you ass backward clown.monospaced
    • Hey pr2, notice the upvotes? Your assessment of the entire situation is wrong. Can’t see the forest for the trees.nb
    • hey we should respect pr2's feelings to believe whatever he wants. even when it puts people's lives at risk. he's *that* special. <3 u prsarahfailin
    • Pr2s just scared guys, lets cut her some slackGuyFawkes
    • science says: kids are not at risk and neither are they major spreaders; the pitchfork crowd: that's why you gotta mask up and vaccinate. This is the sort...pr2
    • ...of twisted logic people like me have to deal with.pr2
    • can we force people to start reading books and actually use their brains? Of course not, so we just accept the reality of the mass stupidity.pr2
    • get a copy of the vaccine card and wave at at any given moron who requests it.pr2
    • the science does show that children are spreaders, though, you're full of shitmonospaced
    • in fact, a kid came home from camp with covid this summer, gave it to his grandmother, and she died from itmonospaced
    • pr2, you live in NYC right? How you gonna deal with the fact you can't go into any restaurant or show for the foreseeable future?monospaced
    • if you have any science to show that kids don't spread covid, share it. You won't, though, because you're a dishonest shit.monospaced
    • if i knew you have an honest bone in your body to bother reading, i could overwhelm you with papers.pr2
    • but it's obvious you prefer an anecdotes (some kids returning form a camp) to rigorous studies.pr2
    • Your entire position is reliant on fringe anecdote, which you use to ignore the vast majority of science. You can’t even deny this. You’re a joke here.monospaced
