Children might be more vulnerable to Covid-19 than once believed, with new research suggesting that they are able to contract and spread the virus, especially if they don’t take precautions such as wearing a mask.
Several studies and reports published in recent weeks found coronavirus infections among children of all ages at places ranging from schools to camps to homes. Other research suggested that kids, especially older ones, can be a driving force behind transmission. And some researchers found children carry high levels...
Next report: Murder kills people. More at 11.
Your kids may be “safer” at home, but you can’t hide your child forever. This virus is never going away—but thank God, there’s an extremely high survival rate. What about the kids living in abusive homes with school being their only escape? Why don’t their lives matter?
Kids get it but their symptoms are VERY mild. Low grade fever and a dry cough for 4 days. The recovery rate is over 99%. As a whole we should be worrying about the vulnerable population while the rest of us gain herd immunity.
It’s never been about getting “infected”. There will always be a risk. Even after a vaccine just like the flu. It’s about mortality.
Fake News! Show the data. More fear mongering from useless media!
No kidding. This was beyond obvious.

Duh!
They are immune in terms they do not develop COVID-19. They still can be carriers of the virus. It is not the same, but is perhaps too much to ask from a journalist.
Well duh! Never was enough data to suggest children less likely to contract/transmit. 1st actions were to protect children (shutdown schools, daycare, camps, etc.); limiting exposure & hence data! Now they’re going into those environments & only now will see sufficient data.
Visualazition
Covid19 accounts for 0.7% of all deaths in children aged 1-14. Influenza killed almost 200 during the 2019-2020 season. Covid killed 26.
Why would you even use the word washingtonpost ?
That’s a lot of wishful 🤔 thinking. This virus will kill anything. Man,woman, child,and pet.
Not sure where you have been getting your information, but nobody ever said that children are immune.
WTF WSJ?! How dare you contradict President Trump? What’s next, telling us drinking bleach isn’t a viable response to COVIDS, or that sex dreams with demons isn’t a health hazard? Trump believes it, so should you!
Mockingbird Media
Just sounds like something else?
DefundTheMedia
Well no duhh!!
parentaction4ed
How does anyone know what to believe anymore?
klillington This has been known since last Feb. The people at risk from schools reopening are not the kids but the parents and grandparents. There will be a lot of orphans this Christmas.
Hmmm...
NOPE
They never were immune. Astoundingly stupid statement
BS. Biased studies to prevent kids going back to school. Amazing how they spit out this garbage just in time.
Out of the mouths of babes: COVID.
Fake research
'whoops, our bad'
So, Trump has blatantly lied about this -- continues to do so -- and placed the lives of children in danger. All for better poll numbers. How do you people justify supporting/defending/excusing this man?
Fake news
Where was this research before decisions are executed? We have been at this long enough now. We need better studies and sooner. Experts that advise us like WHO r late. Indy scientists from 34 countries had to convince WHO virus is airborne. Y didn’t they know this themselves?
How dare you to refute the Trump(Republican party) message. Have you at long last no decency sir.
This is yet another fear porn article from to disuade parents from sending kids back to school. Shameful.
What the hell?!? What has happened to your once respected business paper? I think you’ve hired too many NY times employees & they’re turning your paper into the replacement for the weekly world news. Guess you are like most of the other media outlets in trying to scare everyone.
Boy, this headline isn’t misleading at all?! MSM gonna MSM, I guess. Anything to stoke the fires of fear and division.
Why did you choose this photo where the woman has no mask? A face shield does not replace a mask. If, as we strongly think, the virus remains in the air, she needs a mask to protect herself. Please SHOW PEOPLE WEARING MASKS. Thank you.
HiawathaCat Fck off.. you fear mogering assholes
Maybe pandemics are just a force of nature to control population. Is nature a thing? Once we get overpopulated, we start choking each other out. Media, please stop talking about this.
Doubt Show us a real study
yashar Probably not as many have caught it in the spring and early smer because they were stuck at home and now going anywhere. I know mine have been home.
Garbage. Shameful.THIS LATEST RESEARCH debunks this article. One of the largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools, carried out in 100 institutions in the UK, will confirm that “there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted”
Lol how convenient.
They were never immune. Just in little danger of death or long term complications. Dumb reporting as usual.
AlexBerenson knows more than science.
How convenient this comes up before schools are ready to go back. Impeccable timing really.
🚨Warning: The WSJ is becoming just as fake as the NYT is. This is garbage. FakeNews
Constantly moving those goalposts
And yet I just read the opposite elsewhere.
Fake news
Oh.
Immune?
Well, duh. The only people who believe otherwise are gullible conspiracy fantasy enthusiasts and their victims.
yashar “Researchers warned against reading too much into a single, anecdotal case. An overnight camp where children share cabins isn’t the same as a school,...and several U.S. day cares, camps and summer schools stayed open this summer without incident.”
yashar They should have initially gambled on it anyways instead of gambling on children's welfare.
yashar We knew they weren't immune. They're way less likely to die. There is no new info in this article.
We all carry millions of viruses - it's normal. Stop trying subvert normal. Most so called COVID deaths are from other causes. Herd immunity has always worked - if this was not the case humanity wouldn't have survived the black death and all the rest of those pesky killers!
Dumbfcuks!
brithume
yashar Whoops, our bad for your kids getting sick 🤷♂️
Joe_Hildebrand stay in your lane
WSJ DUH!!!
yashar TwitterSupport by this article suggesting children were ever thought to have some sort of immunity against COVID-19 they are committing the same offense as the Trump Campaign when they got suspended. We should probably suspend now too, until they take this down.
Folks, Sounds As Stupid As Trump. CHILDREN ARE NOT IMMUNE FROM COVID-19 NO ONE HAS ANY IMMUNITY TO THIS DEADLY DISEASE. Lookup Immunity Before You Write A Headline. 🤷🏽♂️ Dummy’s.
Initially thought? I don't understand why you people initially thought that children and immunable
yashar Every time anyone justified kids going back to school, the defense narcissistically focused on them not being able to pass it to adults very easily. Now we're supposed to be surprised when you say they can still still catch it?
Who funded this research?
I'm sorry, but this is a garbage article. There is ZERO new information. - NO ONE said children were immune. - EVERYONE said it's nearly impossible for children to die. These things are confirmed in the article!
yashar Well...duh
Stop MANIPULATING THE NARRATIVE!!! We can do this for the good of our children and our society!!! You’ve taken away my right to religious freedom! All you are doing is WORKING THE NARRATIVE AND NOT GIVING ANYINE HOPE-STOP HAVING GOVERNMENT CONTROL OUR LIVES!!!
There was NEVER science that provided children were immune. NEVER. It was a disinformation campaign, largely led by devos trump desantis Now that the science proves they are not immune (25 died in July alone).. their push to open schools continues WHY
The Horror, the horror!!! 😱😱😱😂😂😂
yashar School?
But open schools anyway.🤷🏻♀️ VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
川普政府还要他们开学，这算不算故意谋杀？
Duh, I mean they are humans as well right?
Of course children aren't immune. It's just that they don't carry a large viral load and transmit it less than adults or teenagers. I mean come on, how many countries schools have to reopen to show folks it's ok.
The 'new studies' need to tell the statistics, because they do not agree.
Who said “Children are pretty much immune.” ?
At least until November
Conservatives: send em to school anyway
I mean, I’m not a doctor and I could have told you that...
yashar Great let’s open schools. We know how sanitary children are.
Vsta1633Vsta
No one thought the were more immune. It was thought they did not produce the severe inflammatory reaction that the adults do.
yashar Did anyone seriously think children were immune? No one answer that, it was rhetorical.
