Abstract
The impact of SARS CoV-2 on children and adolescents is frequently dismissed as less of a burden than the disease in adults. And while the percentage of severe illness in this age range is less than the percentage of severe disease in patients over 65 years old, the impact goes well beyond the physical burden of disease. Educational losses, caregiver loss, and the emotional burden of the pandemic will be elements whose full impact will not be known for likely decades to come.
