Previously some scientists believed that, there were less chances in children to get COVID_19 infection just because of less exposure of ACE2 receptors for the viral particles. While others believed that, children's immune system not responding aggressively to virus, that's the reason they were less in number. A recent report showed that there are high chances of COVID_19 infection to children as well. My personal opinion is, it all depends on the personal exposure to viral particles. For example, they are gonna be increasing in number just because of high infected individuals. So, what do you think?
Haven't anybody studied about COVID_19 intensity or ratios especially In children? Just curious about the hidden mechanism or the factors which are playing main role in it.
This is an evolving process and experience. In my opinion children are being infected equally as adults being exposed however, I think their ability to contain or build immunity against the virus is faster than that of the adults. Many may be infected without even knowing it may just be like a flue like sickness which children are naturally prone to. Glutathione levels are higher in children than adults and decreases with age. This is a strong antioxidant same may be applicable to other various antioxidants and immune modulators. We still await some scientific reasons as researchers evolves during this period of pandemic.
Thank you for the question Sana Arshad .
It was nice to read your answer Abubakar Abubakar Panti . Well I believe to be very precise, the HLA may be acting differently in this case. The formation of MHC and making the foreign pathogen exposed to T-Cell playing a significant role in this case. Wehereas I read somewhere previously that, steric factor in binding of ACE2 with Spike may be some reason. Although nothing is sure about this.
Hope you all are just doing fine. Stay safe,
Cheers!
