I am not sure the relevance of flu in children for the problem of COVID-19. The flu rarely causes serious illness in children and thankfully SARS-CoV-2 also rarely causes serious illness in children.
Well, this was all born out of the line in the post saying that young and healthy healthcare workers were dying. The data indicates that occasionally, they have, but overwhelmingly, the data indicates the statement is false. This continued on to an evaluation of "even if they don't die, they may have permanent lung injuries -- even if they show no symptoms" and I responded that I have not seen any data to indicate this is the case. I'm certainly open to it being true (it was for SARS-COV-1) but I have not seen any supporting evidence.
