Trump says children are ‘almost immune’ to COVID. Doctors don’t agree.
Eager for schools to reopen and to return to the old “normal,” President Trump has been proclaiming his opinion that children are “virtually immune” or “almost immune” to infection with the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, as summer winds down, schools that have begun to reopen are already seeing COVID-19 flare-ups among students as well as staff. Yahoo News Medical Contributor Dr. Dara Kass explains that the rise in cases among children, a change from early in the pandemic, is largely due to more adolescents being exposed at summer camps and in schools as in-person classes resume. Children are certainly not immune from the disease, she says.
While most children with reported cases of COVID-19 are believed to be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, with a low rate of hospitalization compared to adults, that does not mean that children are impervious to complications from the virus. The CDC says that children are still “at risk for severe COVID-19,” according to a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week.
