Correction: U.S. students are at 'higher risk' from the coronavirus than kids in other countries, Dr. Scott Gottlieb says.
Children in the U.S. are more likely than kids in other countries to have underlying conditions that place them at an increased risk of becoming severely sick with Covid-19, complicating the U.S. debate over how and whether to reopen schools this fall, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr.President Donald Trump has been pressuring U.S.
"The only country that had schools open against a backdrop of a fair degree of spread was Sweden, and that's what everyone extrapolates from," he said on "." "We didn't study that systematically. We don't know how many kids were really infected." It remains unclear exactly how the virus affects children and whether young people, many of whom never develop symptoms or develop only mild symptoms, play a primary role in spreading the virus. Because of limited testing among young people, scientists have struggled to draw firm conclusions about how easily young people might pass the virus on to one another and to older, more vulnerable people.
