alright, you're right. so readjusting the figures:
severe or critical change rates are: <1: 10.5% 1-5: 7.3% 6-10: 4.2% 11-15: 4.1% 15-whatever oldest was: 3%
so not nearly as alarming as i thought and said, you're right. significantly more alarming than the public would think though. almost 2/3 of the problems in children comes from those 5 or less. the bigger issue here will ultimately come down to the family unit: China still typically is a 1 child family, only starting to shift to 2. we're gonna have a waaay bigger sample size and i'd sooner have all mothers know of that risk. "hey, if your newborn cases it there's a 10.5% chance he's going to be have significant issues breathing or organ failure" is definitely a warning to give.
yeah, still good to know because the narrative had always been that children couldn't get infected, which clearly isn't the case. glad the stats aren't as alarming as initially reported, though!
