Epidemiological evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is less frequent and severe than adults. Age-related ACE2 receptor expression, lymphocyte count and trained immunity might be the keystone to reveal children's secret. https://t.co/mTHezrKXVR

Interesting data on coinfection of COVID-19 and other respiratory pathogens in children

[Pediatric COVID-19 Open Data Analysis Group @COVID19DataTeam]

In a new letter, Jiang et al. report on coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and multiple respiratory pathogens in children. We recommend all children with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 be tested regardless of the presence of other confirmed pathogens.
