Heres a scientific article about the coronavirus and pediatric patients.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2766037

If you actually take the time to read through it the researchers state that the risk of serious illness from the coronavirus in children is less than the seasonal flu.

Finally, it is important to emphasize that the overall burden of COVID-19 infection in children remains relatively low compared with seasonal influenza. As of April 28, 2020, the CDC report 8 deaths in children 14 years or younger related to COVID-19 infection, whereas there have so far been 169 influenza-related deaths in children 14 years or younger during the 2019-2020 season, with 81 of these occurring in 2020.14,15 Thus, up to this time of the pandemic in North America, children continue to face a far greater risk of critical illness from influenza than from COVID-19, pointing to the imperative for ongoing preventive pediatric health maintenance during this time.

I copied and pasted it because I know most of you are too lazy to actually read scientific articles and rather just argue with feelings. Also its important to note that a large majority of kids that did have complications had preexisting conditions.
