Can CHILDREN get very ill with COVID INFECTION? I

Fortunately most children with covid 19 infection in the 2nd wave have recovered completely which is good news. What we should remember is that covid 19 should be less virulent and less severe in children and when we compare other infections it is not known to be more severe,. Almost 60 to 70% children do not presents with severe symptoms and it is attributed to teh absence of receptors in the lungs and in the nose of children which are called as the ACE 2 receptors which are the binding receptors in the lungs and also attributed to the particular type of immunity in children called as innate immunity. Also 30% kids have moderate symptoms. Fortunately 2 to 6 % kids, that is 2 to 6 kids per 100 kids develop severe manifestations.
