Children With Coronavirus Significantly Undercounted

IN THE U.S., the vast majority of serious Covid-19 cases — and eight out of 10 deaths — occur in people who are at least 65.

The CovKid project estimates that the total number of children infected with the coronavirus in the U.S. is now at least 478,000.
