The developing brains and organs of children are susceptible to damage, while their death rates are low.
This means that the younger folks face the strong possibility of suffering a lifetime of some impairment, that can also shorten their lifespan. While damage to older people's tissues can occur too, they generally do not require functioning organs for forty or more years, like children and young adults do. Younger developing brains and nervous systems are subject to greater alteration risks.

(11,885 posts)Sending children , and teachers, and all of their families being possibly infected is another disaster in the making from trump. Just like his reopening states have been , and putting children's lives at at great risk for political reasons for trump. To add to that they refuse to pay for precautions needed. Many lawsuits for doing this will be coming soon for trump and those Governors doing this , hopefully civil lawsuits too. Criminal negligence when children become infected coming?
