BA.2 more severe for children, study finds, but serious outcomes still uncommon

A new study on the severity of the BA.2 strain of the coronavirus in children in Hong Kong found that it was more serious for children compared with other variants or compared with parainfluenza or influenza. However, in absolute numbers, the research counted a small number of deaths and other serious outcomes, and the findings may be less applicable to the US, where there has been more Covid-19 transmission and thus more population-level immunity.
