Luca Cristiani,Enrica Mancino,Luigi Matera,Raffaella Nenna,Alessandra Pierangeli,Carolina Scagnolari,Fabio Midulla +6 more
TL;DR: Empirical evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is less frequent and severe than adults, and age-related ACE2 receptor expression, lymphocyte count and trained immunity might be the keystone to reveal children's secret.
Journal ArticleDOI
