Fact check: Trump is lying about kids being safe from virus

By Associated Press -May 9, 2020 1:00 PM

His statement that "the children aren't affected" is dangerous.

Donald Trump is falsely suggesting that children are safe from the coronavirus as he pushes to reopen the country now and schools in the summer or fall.

Although Trump is broadly correct that the disease is most deadly to the elderly and to people with existing health problems, his statement that "the children aren't affected" is heedless. Some have died from it. His recent comments also skirt the threat to healthy adults in their 50s and younger.

A look at his statements on the subject:

TRUMP: "With young children and children, we'd like to see the schools open early next season and on time. It's incredible how the — it's very unique how the children aren't affected, but people that have problems and older people are — can be very badly hurt, injured, or die from this problem." — remarks with Native leaders Tuesday in Phoenix, Arizona.

TRUMP: "You see how well children seem to do. It's incredible. We realize how strong children are, right?" — remarks with nurses Wednesday.

Please don't rely on medical advice from someone who looked directly at a solar eclipse and who has publicly stated that he doesn't know what the words "communicable" and "contagious" mean.
