85 infants tested positive for Covid-19 in a Texas county. Here is why infants may be at higher risk for worse Covid-19 health outcomes:
suggests that infants may have weaker immune systems for another reason. Weaker immune systems may allow good bacteria, such as the kind that makes poop smell bad, to move in and colonize their bodies. Of course, if this is the case, then leaving the door open in this way, could allow some bad visitors as well.
Since the Covid-19 coronavirus is still so new, there haven’t been too many studies on what happens to different infants when they get infected.does detail four cases of newborns hospitalized with fevers and found to have SARS-CoV-2 infections. Two of these infants had such difficulty breathing that they had to be admitted to the intensive care unit. One of the newborns ended up receiving remdesivir.
Infants probably won’t be raising their little fists and saying, “darn you 2020,” because they can’t quite talk yet and have no other year as a point of reference. However, adults should know that this year infants may face even more risks and tougher times than in previous years. Many adult decisions will affect infants even when infants do not seem directly involved. For example, most infants don’t go to school yet, unless they are incredibly advanced.
Therefore, whether you follow recommended public health measures could end up affecting infants, even if you are not an infant yourself, at least age-wise.
