Where did this 'kids don't get infected' lie come from? Kids absolutely can catch the coronavirus, it's just far less likely to cause adverse effects.

Given how much chaos and contradiction comes out of the public health establishment every day, do you really think people who disagree are just lying, or have they seen other reports than you? https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-and-covid-19 https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/children-a... Here's the public health arm of the Dutch government summarising the evidence: Worldwide, relatively few children have been reported with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Data from the Netherlands also confirms the current understanding: that children play a minor role in the spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children. The spread of COVID-19 among children or from children to adults is less common. No lie - current best understanding.
