Umm, OK.
kids carry a high viral load, I mean really.
Really.

It is less deadly than the flu for younger people that is a fact. This is shown by the CDC etc. Older it is worse.
As I said, deadliness for a particular age group isn't the only barometer. Your statement is fact. But it is only part of the picture. Ability of younger people to spread the disease or get longer term complications are other factors.
How do we know about long term damage, this has only been around for 6 months or so. Show me real numbers.
Because we can visually see the damage. You're right, we don't know the full long term effects, but there are very telling signs.
