Coronavirus Infects More US Children Than Thought

Ezra Acayan/Getty Images A new report estimates that, for every child in intensive care with COVID-19, there are 2,318 other children infected.

While the CDC said there were around 2,500 US kids infected on April 6, the researchers say it was likely closer to 176,190 children.

Based on the projections, if at least 25% of the US population is infected by the end of 2020, as many as 44,000 children would need to be hospitalized and 5,400 in intensive care.
