I have been worrying about what the near future -- summer/fall 2021 -- looks like once we have mass vaccination in adults but we're still waiting for children... and this is very hopeful to read! twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/st…

Children are constantly challenged by pathogens new to their bodies & that is 1 reason they are more adept at fending off #SARSCOV2. Eventually the virus will be of concern only in children <5, causing only mild symptoms @ScienceMagazine @apoorva_nyc nytimes.com/2021/01/12/hea…
