Though kids fare better long-term, the risk of exposing others is high.
Also concerning is the positivity rate — the percentage of children who tested positive out of all the kids who were tested — which is at a rate of 9%, higher than the positivity rate for adults. With outdoor youth activities and summer camps beginning, many are concerned this means more kids will get COVID-19 and can pass it along to those at greater risk for death, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.
“I suspect there are a lot of kids who may be shedding small amounts of virus without a whole lot of symptoms,”, chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando. “If you look at the mortality data and even the hospitalization data, children do really, really well. The majority of kids with COVID-19 probably don’t even come to medical attention,” said Alexander.
