All 349 of them had serious preexisting conditions. (Not to say that each of the 349 isn't a tragedy, only that the coronavirus is unequivocally not dangerous to children without preexisting conditions.) Also - if you're considering it, please save the "long covid" histrionics. We used to call that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and there's no reason to believe "long covid" is different, scarier, or more prevalent than CFS. I have a strong suspicion that the patient's psychological suggestibility and media consumption are greater predictors of "long covid" than infection.
