Children make up less than 0.1% of all Covid deaths since the pandemic began - Daily Mail

This means that children make up around 12 percent of cases and less than 0.1 percent of deaths in the U.S.

Previous studies have found that around half of cases among children are asymptomatic.

The data highlights the mild risk the youngest children face from Covid.

A study published by researchers from the University of Utah in October found that 50 percent of children who contract Covid have an asymptomatic case.

A study published in October found that half of children who contracted COVID-19 did not experience symptoms of the virus compared to only 12% of adults.

Omicron is much more mild than Delta and other previous strains of the virus, making it likely the risk children face has only decreased.

A CDC study published last week found that people of all ages are half as likely to require hospitalization as a result of Omicron infection and 91 percent less likely to die. .

The little risk children face has made some concerned about vaccinations, as the small risk a kid faces of developing myocarditis may not be worth receiving the shot.
