“Perhaps we’ll even learn why it does not attack kids.”
If I was designing a bioweapon I would make the kids the Super Spreaders. They fight off the virus but shed it all over the place.
In reality, could it be done? Who knows.
I think it is more a case that they had it and fought it off..viral load doest get high enough to test positive.
A young Walmart employee in the Midwest told me on the phone that the busy store was full of mothers with sick children all day earlier today. The Walmart is right next to a major interstate trucking, commuting and vacation travel hub.
It does attack kids. Their symptoms aren’t as dangerous, though, and less often require hospitalization. Generally, their immune systems overwhelm the virus more quickly than the immune systems of adults.
