COVID-19 >> New Drug Activity & VACCINE TRACKING!!

[caskur]

In China, only 2.4% of reported cases were children and only 0.2% of reported cases were critically ill children, according to the World Health Organization. China hasn't reported a case of a young child dying of COVID-19.



The coronavirus has proved especially deadly at the other end of the age spectrum. The fatality rate in China for those over 80 is an estimated 21.9%, WHO says.



For ages 10 to 39, however, the fatality rate is roughly 0.2%, according to a separate study drawing on patient records of 44,672 confirmed cases.



Not so severe And fatalities and severe symptoms are almost non-existent at younger ages.



That means COVID-19 is behaving differently from other viruses, like influenza, which are usually dangerous for the very young and very old.



"With respiratory infections like this, we usually see a U-shaped curve on who gets hit hardest: Young children at one end of the U because their immune systems aren't yet developed and old people at the other end because their immune systems grow weaker," said Vineet Menachery, a virologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch.



Figuring out why children are mostly unaffected could lead to breakthroughs in understanding how and why the virus works.

Hmmm, maybe kids are vaccinated against many illnesses and those vaccines (like whooping cough vaccine) cause children to have higher tolerances to covid-19 but I think it's all bullshit.



Not everyone who has died has been tested. The fascilities aren't there to test everyone.

Dozens of people in Iran died after drinking industrial-strength alcohol amid rumors it would prevent them from contracting the coronavirus, according to reports Tuesday.



The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency, or IRNA, reported Tuesday that 44 people had died from alcohol poisoning in the country after they "drank bootleg alcohol over rumors that it would be effective in treating coronavirus." But the semi-independent Mehr News Agency reported a lower figure – at least 27 people dying in Iran from alcohol poisoning amid the coronavirus scare.

To prevent coronavirus infection.
