The Reuters cited a “summary of recent studies” that Americans who have been following the actual science on Covid-19 have been waiting to see reported by a mainstream news media outlet.

While the studies cited come with a disclaimer that they raise issues that merit further research, they also echo findings in other medical studies and in the public health data.

The first studies reported on the effects of Covid-19 further substantiate that Delta is not more dangerous for young people than the Alpha variant. Furthermore, it states that “very few children needed to be hospitalized and long periods of illness were uncommon”:

The Delta variant of the coronavirus does not appear to cause more severe disease in children than earlier forms of the virus, a UK study suggests. Earlier this year, the research team found the Alpha variant of the virus did not appear to make children sicker than the so-called wild, or original, form of the virus, first seen in China.

New data suggests that kids also do not get any sicker from Delta than they did from Alpha. Researchers compared two groups of school-age children with COVID-19: 694 infected with the Alpha variant between late December 2020 and early May 2021, and 706 infected with Delta between late May and early July.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
