      Dear Sure49dap,
      unless immunodepress or immunocopromise, the new and shiny lungs of a 12 child are quite safe against COVID-19, the problem is that the child can go around sick and infect old people who are far more sensible.

      Younger people are far less likely to get really sick, not impossible just rare compared to older people. As marcello says the bigger risk is that younger healthy people can still spread it to vulnerable people.
