    It absolutely has infected children, as young as 36 hours old. There hasn't, however, been any reports of children dying.

      technically you are probably correct though I was more replying to the parent's statement that it kills newborns >The outbreak was first reported on December 31, but no children younger than 15 years old had been diagnosed as of January 22. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine said at the time that "children might be less likely to become infected or, if infected, may show milder symptoms" than adults. >Since then, doctors have recorded a few one-off cases among children: a 9-month-old girl in Beijing, a child in Germany whose father was diagnosed with the virus first, and a child in Shenzhen, China, who was infected but displayed no symptoms. >On Wednesday, Chinese authorities confirmed that an infant in Wuhan, China, had tested positive for the virus 30 hours after being born; the baby's mother is a coronavirus patient. https://www.sciencealert.com/experts-are-puzzled-over-why-so-few-children-have-caught-coronavirus-so-far https://www.sciencealert.com/experts-are-puzzled-over-why-so...

Influenza isn't killing healthy people. It mostly kills old or new horns. That depends entirely on the strain of flu. The Influenza A H1N1 behind the 2009 pandemic primarily killed people between 18-64 years old. https://watermark.silverchair.com/ciq012.pdf?token=AQECAHi208BE49Ooan9kkhW_Ercy7Dm3ZL_9Cf3qfKAc485ysgAAAmEwggJdBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagggJOMIICSgIBADCCAkMGCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQMnBj6dRGboHzwvAtGAgEQgIICFJxsgFgWSBB2s_S4Md-diZ6M7FP15Bas0QL8PHvDmMBBrO9r8gM9SVMuUT7m1P-DVGyBRFrszTR3pLHlFxMiM37MhwhRp4lTpy2-d_5Rp_2rpU7SOs0RfmNNnYCKkVgQp-2Ya1yLaww9-ByGtba4givPUFmV_gcfafKDcjRM1PQ_uZDeArdLDRaJSbKUNMSXDoTaJnR6wqUmfcK8ld-b62Fhkwm8-mb8i5Sk4S8TUznmRB-dQ3Lecnigj6e3v-FJtyMShJuzl4NRerXenw4xcyiO9R2GmDqHMNxBYD6oA1eM8KX47gEQ8LtuczlhaklAu882uzCxBaREQTRqc6wOmDAcsO9WcPdbH60kVpUUAKOc8Q91ynbsHBtYqBLP8RMROG1Lk5A7yjS1cpdF1di07Aj-I8Gb-LK87yCTuFVUT6HUjWW4UXxjYnChDrbQiFxks3L3gkU4sjBdpFdshdUoqRfvwzhCe6qnHMjKwDI3R3ZN11HZAwn8sM77uIIDjiak5b6UozM_3PqkaLa1FNUnt17Kx8Qv4cdG1z3thb3xPLcTIOxIIedAxisgyRBrBLV_71cvA_hJFNe24J19IPEO1oHKyrieMKWV8daHq_jHzt2BJ8ZWR5b-ZdSsNTF-n0PcmBaa2GWeIfwNyXJkyNL8fXq3ZuBBu8cYk4wi-hGS-2a14smgnC1qREtxUKz6r-WNQoHKVMA https://watermark.silverchair.com/ciq012.pdf?token=AQECAHi20...
