, only 2.4 percent of all reported cases of COVID-19 in China have been children. And of that, only 2.5 percent experienced any of the severe symptoms associated with the illness. Plus, only a minuscule 0.2 percent became critically ill due to the coronavirus.Naturally, pediatric health experts do have a few working theories as to why there’s a discrepancy in cases between children and adults.

At the end of the day, if [their immune systems] freaked out about every single virus every time, they would be in the ICU. Instead, kids are really good at making good, fast immune responses.
