Children are not 'nearly immune' to the coronavirus, Sandra Smith told her guest.
, penalized the president’s campaign for posting a clip from his Wednesday morning “Fox & Friends” interview in which he claimed, “If you look at children, children are almost ― and I would almost say definitely ― almost immune from this disease.”
“There is a debate happening whether or not Facebook and Twitter should be arbiters of truth and decide what is fact and fiction,” Smith began. She then pulled up figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to those figures, children under the age of 18 account for 7.4% of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S., a figure that’s been rising over the past month, Smith told Conway.Conway sidestepped, noting that 7.4% is a national figure and pointing out that some states, counties and school districts have different numbers. She then pivoted to discussing how some parents want their kids back at school, but Smith redirected her back to the issue at hand ― Trump’s claim.
“The debate right now is over the spread of misinformation by the president about children being ‘nearly immune,’” she interrupted. “Having under-18 kids in this country get the disease 7.4% of the time is not ‘nearly immune.’” “And you want to dial down to specific states and districts where schools are reopening,” Smith added. “I spoke to the governor of Mississippi last night and he said, ‘The kids are spreading it.’”
