Abstract

On December 19, 2019 the Public Health Department of China reported a new strain of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that was responsible for Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and was later also found to be responsible for acute myocarditis, arrhythmias and sudden death [1,2]. The death rate in adults was initially 8.8% and today is about 0.4% in the United States. In children however, the death rate in children with SARS-CoV-2 has been on average 0.011%, but when we look at the death rate due to SARS-CoV-2 this has been only 0.011%.
