Children tougher vs Covid – study

Children who are aged 10 and younger produce more antibodies in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) infection than adolescents and adults, a study showed on Tuesday.

The authors of the paper, which appeared in JAMA Network Open, said the finding helped illuminate why children were less susceptible to severe Covid-19 than adults — though this is still an area of very active research and many factors are believed to be at play.
