U.S. students get sicker from the coronavirus than kids in other countries, Dr. Scott Gottlieb says
President Donald Trump tweeted last week that schools in "Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, along with many other countries" were "open with no problems."
About 6 million U.S. children under the age of 18 have asthma, according to the CDC, and the agency notes that Black children suffer from asthma at more than double the rate of White children. The outbreak in the U.S., in contrast, continues to set daily new records as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on local officials to commit to reopening schools. The U.S. is suffering from the worst Covid-19 outbreak in the world with more than 3.3 million confirmed cases so far and at least 135,200 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Young people are much less likely than elderly individuals to become severely sick and die of Covid-19, though some children have died of the disease. Health officials also have warned of severe complications in children that appear to be associated with the virus as well as possible long-term health effects.
