At the other end of the spectrum, in British Columbia (population 5 million), there have been 0 deaths in age group 10-19 and 2 deaths in age group <10.
To further confound the issue, mortality rates in infants is significantly larger than in older kids, for US something like 500/100k vs 20/100k, reflecting a number of infants with congenital issues. Some of those end up counted as "death with covid", even if they were not going to make it either way. It is better to search for epi data for kids excluding 0-1 age group, if at all available.
