“My view is that schools are open,” Trump said. “If you look at young people, young people are almost, and I would almost say, but almost immune to this disease.
He added that young people have “a much more powerful immune system” and “they just don’t have any problems.”
According to Facebook, this is the first time the social media platform has removed a message from the president about incorrect information about the coronavirus pandemic.

The same clip was also shared via the Trump campaign’s Twitter account, @teamtrump, and was retwated through the president himself.
A Twitter spokesman told Fox News that the tweet “violates Twitter’s COVID-19 disinformation rules” and that Trump’s crusade “will have to delete the Tweet before it can tweet again.”
Trump’s crusade spokeswoman Courtney Parella told Fox News that President Trump “declared a fact that young people are less vulnerable to coronavirus.”

Parella also claimed that the Twitter spokesman who reported on the campaign’s suspended account, Kamala Harris, a former press secretary.

“The risks of reopening need to be considered carefully in light of the recognized benefits of in-person education,” the foundation added.
The basis noted that there is “evidence of an age gradient in contagion, with more young people less likely and more young people more likely to pass in grades to adults.”
The National Medical Academies reported that “compared to adults, young people who contract COVID-19 are more likely to have an asymptomatic infection or mild symptoms of upper breathing,” and that more than 90% of young people with positive results will have no symptoms or mild symptoms.
18-year-olds account for 7%, or more than 200,000, of reported coVID-19 cases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also account for 1% of coronavirus-related hospitalizations and less than 1% of coronavirus-related deaths.
