   Anecdotally, I know a pediatric ER doctor who says she's seen a number of   
   kids with severe cases, so kids can definitely have problems. I don't know   
   how the numbers compare to adults, and it seems like kids definitely have   
   better ability to fight off the life threatening complications.   
      
   Although there is some disturbing evidence that people with serious lung   
   problems may face longterm complications, and it's obviously unclear how   
   long that may affect pediatric cases.
