Trump falsely claims COVID-19 has 'very little impact' on young people

On Wednesday, during a meeting with governors at the White House, President Donald Trump urged states to reopen schools — and justified it by arguing coronavirus has "very little impact on young people."

Trump's claim is false. There are numerous reports of young people being debilitated by COVID-19. In addition to many younger patients being hospitalized, others are suffering mysterious complications for no clear reason. Moreover, even younger patients with mild symptoms can spread the disease to older patients.
