Kids seem unlikely to become dangerously ill from the new coronavirus, but they do get infected.

I'm not good with message boards so bear with me. What if this virus is a manmade bioweapon virus and they somehow designed it in a way that it cannot affect the younger cell structure of children. There has to be a reason because the old and young are usually the first to be hard hit and it is barely affecting children at all. I find it odd the Media just has dismissed that as if it isn't interesting or important. Also- it's popping up in places where NOONE has left to be exposed to virus, so maybe terrorists are spreading it discreetly in many places.
It seems that you may have been misinformed by a faulty news article. I doubt that a terrorist group would have the technology and skill required to do such a thing, and terrorists thrive on publicity. If this was a bioweapon, we would have had a terrorist group take responsibility for it- and then probably make some demands, threatening to release more if they are not met. Also, what reason would a terrorist have to not infect children? The same type of fanatics who can set bombs and kill hundreds would not have such qualms.
I have no problem with with open minds, but it seems you have jumped to conclusions. Why would a 3-4% death rate be "WAY TOO LOW", as you put it? And how would a low death rate be evidence towards a terrorist strike? Besides, working with viruses like this would be very expensive and require funds and machinery that no terrorist organization that we know of has access to. Terrorists, specifically, require publicity to be effective. Even more than bombs and guns, fear is what they use.I have read NO ARTICLE AND BEEN MISINFORMED. I'm a big girl and can read articles and take from them what I choose. The reason small children do not get this as badly as adults--this is the clue. Figure that out and we will be much closer to a vaccine. As far as terrorists love to claim their catastrophic deeds....my brother, his wife and 2 cousins died in the major TWA flight in 96. There are several books claiming this was the first act of terrorism and most of the families never bought the static in center fuel tank neat and tidy story . So maybe terrorists don't WANT any light shed on them until they finish what they're up to. Look, I'm just saying OPEN MINDS solve problems--going on old information is reinventing the wheel. Maybe a group wants all old people and middle agers to be cut down population wise. Children are impressionable and would be easier to force into communism or whatever it may be. They're young, strong and easily impressionable compared to adults If this is what this virus is--I'm guarantying you they have thousands of vaccines ready and waiting to end this pandemic. . And to make you think I'm even more stupid----this 3-4% death rate is WAY TOO LOW. That is a crock. This is doubling daily. The virus will kill THOUSANDS in poverty stricken places like Africa. It will probably mutate and become more and more deadly and strong. When this is all said and done, I see the death rate at more like 20% of those infected. So shred me again on this hypothesis . I can take it.
Strange that. They are not getting it hardly at all in Wuhan and elsewhere. Could it be a different strain in Iran?I saw a video from Iran, trust me kids get it..

I don'[t know why but i STRONGLY feel it has something to do with difference in cell structure in babies and children as being different make up than adults. Or maybe again--their pumped full of vaccines and the older people may have a lower resistance due to ageing and vaccines much less prevalent in their bodies. I believe looking into stem cell related vaccines may have a viable possibility. I think it is our FIRST and BEST clue. Why aren't babies and children affected not much if any and healthy 50-60 year olds drop dead in 2 days. This is the missing piece of puzzle.I take your point. It is just a tiny bit suspicious, because, for me even if some one was so callous as to use a viral weapon, they still might want to to use one that did not effect the most innocent members of society: children.
However, the 1918 influenza effected the old and young less, and those in between more due to their immune systems being the most healthy, and reacting too much to the new pathogen. The article suggests that perhaps children have cleaner lungs, runnier mucus, less immune response, or perhaps a better immune response to coronaviruses (as colds that they catch at school presumably).
I suggest here (link) that another possibility is that children (like the original hosts, bats) tend to get hot, hotter than older people anyway, when infected and this may kill the virus though I am in no way connected with medicine and attempting to heating yourself may be impossible (as announced by the WHO), and heating up too much kills many (more?) people too.

I had a similar experience in Walmart. The woman was ILL. She had no mask on but when she got outside she put on a ski mask with only her eyes showing. She also seemed to keep her head down in line as if to not be seen on the cameras. Anyway--yes, I wouldn't want to touch magazine either and I'm afraid most of us have already touched the virus on something like MONEY or been exposed to a person who didn't know they had it yet.I take your point.

People who take too hot baths for too long can suffer from heat stroke, organ failure, especially liver failure, sepsis and death (which seems to come before the "burns" that the WHO mention). People have died from organ failure as a result of spending too long in a 40C bath. I plan to heat my feet using some sort of electric heater, rather than a foot bath, if I get it.
Apropos of nothing....
The Japanese (I am in Japan) think that they are really hygienic and they are right in the main, but there was a guy reading magazines in my local convenience store, coughing without a mask or elbow. I kept my distance, wore a mask, washed my hands, face, and gargled when I got home, but even so I am scared. I would hate to be the person that buys the magazine that he was reading for free.

You inadvertently answered your own question...that no terrorist organization that we know of
Actually I take interest in ALL ideas and theories. I sometime forget to comment on some. I'm not sure I understand your theory but that's my fault because you really put a lot of detail into it. Just kind of over my head. What about freezing it? Is there a way to put someone's body temp very low for a little while without killing the person?I take your point.

So a 6 year old in the Bronx has it but is recovering. They need to do tons of testing on her blood compared to other kids. I don't know exactly what I'm saying--I'm not conveying it correctly so sorry in advance. Her blood could possible show something different than markers in other childrens blood. Like maybe did she not get all of her vaccines, things like that. And BY NO MEANS am I saying use her like a test rat. Just get some blood and start finding what is different, why did she get it and other kids near her did not?Kids seem unlikely to become dangerously ill from the new coronavirus, but they do get infected.
