The children I’ve heard of having a severe reaction to COVID-19 have Kawasaki disease. So just like adults, this underlying health issue exacerbates the virus. I’m not dismissing the severity of this but trying to keep everything in perspective.
As for children taking it home and passing it on to parents and grandparents: the most vulnerable need to take responsibility for diminishing their risk of exposure to COVID-19. Locking up the healthy to protect the less healthy is insane not to mention completely unsustainable.
Those people reveling in their unemployment payments are the same ones who will be whining at what the inevitable future brings. On social media the ones I see who bang the drum “we’ll all die if we go back to work” the loudest are young people who make more for not working than for working.
Agree that children with underlying conditions can get this. Also possible that some infants marked “COVID-19” maybe newborns whose mothers have it? In any case, quite rare. As I said there is supposed to be a study from Finland showing no transmission by children to adults. Haven’t found it yet, but Bhattachariya mentioned it.
I decided to check out Kawasiki disease see links below. It appears Kawasaki is a syndrome, not a bug/virus. I then left a comment at one site which I will reprint: “no one here suggests the very real possibility the whole Covid/Kawasaki issue could be vitamin or mineral deficiencies. After closely following the Covid issue for several months, I believe deficiencies in Vit. C, D3, and Zinc could be involved. Many people are sub-clinicly deficient. These three items are rapidly used up with Covid infection. Efficacy of medicinal doses of these supplements has been totally neglected in hot pursuit of patentable drugs and vaccines with their money making potential. Meanwhile pioneer work by people like Dr. Robert Cathcart with 10 years of 9,000 “anecdotal” patient reports is ignored. http://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html
More recently Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s two messages to President Trump have been misinterpreted (perhaps deliberately) by both the President and Dr. Fauci. Whereas Zelenko describes using the combination zinc, Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycine with high success on over 900 patients, Trump/Fauci talk(ed) about HCQ without mentioning all important zinc. HCQ increases cell permeability allowing zinc inside to stop/kill Covid. Severely ill veterans in VA hospitals were HCQ only treated mostly without success. Some may have died. I then checked S. Korea’s Covid success using HCQ plus HIV anti-viral, Kaletra, which like zinc goes into open cells and stops viral replication. Excellent early treatment—HCQ to open cells, zinc, Kaletra or other anti-viral to enter cells and kill Covid, and low cost TOO. Maybe not so great need for new drugs and vaccines.

For the new Kawasaki-like illness in the young and post Covid blood disorders, I would try Vit. C, 10,000mg/d qid or more, and Vit. D3 5000 to 10,000IU or more for 5 to 10 days. Taper C dose down over several days.” Young children may get less exposure to D producing sun, or conscientious parents may keep their children too clean so there is no oil on skin for sun to produce D in, or wash it off before the body absorbs it. Also, the darker skin of blacks and Latinos may explain why more are dying of Covid-19.
