Facebook and Twitter delete post by US President Donald Trump which they say violate its rules against sharing misinformation about coronavirus

Tweet you referenced is in violation of the Twitter Rules on COVID-19 misinformation. The account owner will be required to remove the Tweet before they can Tweet again.”A Twitter spokesman said the @TeamTrump account owner would be required to remove the tweet before they could tweet again.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that while adults make up most of the known Covid-19 cases to date, some children and infants have been sick with the disease and they can also transmit it to others. "Children handle it very well," he told reporters. "If you look at the numbers, in terms of mortality, fatalities ... for children under a certain age ... their immune systems are very very strong and very powerful. They seem to be able to handle it very well and that's according to every statistical claim."
