                    You can only die from the Coronavirus if you are old and have a weak immune system.

                      That's what people say but it's not true! Some people like 10 11 year olds that have good immune system have died! So? Not for sure? That's probably most likely though! Thank you for telling me!

                          Yes, it is true. Coronavirus is only threatening to people older than 60, weak immune system, and if you have other side health issues.

                            No, if some kids have other health issues or have a weak immune system, it is possible for them to die. And yes, kids can get infected, but the result will not be as severe. Just the typical flu. And if treated well, the recovery will be quick.

                                That's not totally true. People with weak immune systems can also die. While kids are less likely to have those problems, it's not impossible. Also, kids are carriers, so we are part of the problem of the spread of COVID-19.

                                  Maybe. It's just less likely to hit you if you're a kid.
