Even with the rise of the more transmissible delta variant, the coronavirus hasn’t proven any more fatal, especially not to the children and babies who have been largely spared by the pandemic.

To date, just 385 deaths involving minors, out of the total 54,062 that occurred in 2020 and 2021, resulted from the coronavirus. That’s 0.7% of all child deaths. And even of the more than 100,000 deaths in this period among adults ages 18 to 29, only 2,761 resulted from coronavirus.
