The short-term risk to children (<15yo) from COVID-19 is modest, roughly on par with a nasty case of the flu The long-term risk is entirely unknown and, it appears, not well studied at all

Long-term safety data in exposing kids (short-term or long-term) to COVID will exist in the future if one gathers the data for it. Expected would be that places that did not expose kids to COVID would be relieved to have another confirmation on why they did chose the right path.
-
The places who would own the evidence would be perplexed as to how they ended up there.

Been bothering me since I read a public health official in FL interviewed saying she spotted signs of long term lung damage in *asymptomatic* kids.Ohio St. study w athletes (on heart) was disturbing but super small-- also asymptomatic. Where are the follow ups? Longcovid data too

I conclude people haven't read enough apocalyptic sci-fi. I've been reminded of this a lot. I think we're past the apocalypse point but the way the risk was dismissed was unbelievably casual.

Covid was never going to be an apocalypse , let's be rational about that, It never needed to get as bad as it did in europe and the americas either
