Several explanations contributing to the milder COVID-19 symptoms experienced, in the acute phase, by children have been suggested, including [16] [17]: a lower expression of ACE-2 (the receptor used by SARS-CoV-2 for cell entry) in the respiratory tract in younger children; viral interference (e.g. by other coronaviruses)
The World Health Organization's 2013 report on stress-related conditions found insufficient evidence to support EMDR for acute symptoms of traumatic stress.

The virus was independently described in 2005 as HCoV-NH following a discovery among a group of children having respiratory infection in New Haven, Connecticut, US. [79] The origin of the virus remains a mystery, but it is closely related to tricolored bat ( Perimyotis subflavus ) coronavirus and can survive in bat cell lines, suggesting that ...
During the start of the COVID-19 pandemic it was not clear whether young people were less likely to be infected, or less likely to develop symptoms and be tested. [52] A retrospective cohort study in China found that children and adults were just as likely to be infected. [53]
