Can Kid's Immune System Better Deal with COVID-19 than that of Adult?

No clear evidence may have been found indicating whether adults or children can deal better with illnesses like coronavirus. Therefore, a few things can be observed to understand when a kid or an adult may be able to face the symptoms of COVID-19 in a better way. According to Kanury Rao, one of these things is to consider experiences. The next important thing to look at is the regular habits of both kids and adults. The immunologist hints that when these two things are assessed, one can understand who can better deal with the virus and its effects.

 

How Kids or Adults Deal Better with Coronavirus?

 

In some situations, kids can respond better to coronavirus. In other instances, adults’ immune systems can generate better responses. Who can respond better in a situation can be determined by looking at the individual’s experience, habits, and immune response.

 

1. Experiences

 

Both kids and adults can be vulnerable to COVID-19. Concerning who can better deal with it, immunologists are of the opinion that adults may have gone through several experiences in life that relate to health problems. These experiences can be useful for adults for managing their immune system when dealing with coronavirus.

 

Kids may or may not have undergone many experiences in life. Therefore, it can be hard to ascertain whether or not their immune systems may be better developed and strengthened. Thus, managing them when affected by viruses like COVID-19 may be difficult at times. However, as Kanury Rao says, the same cannot be held true for every kid, adult, or even an older adult.

 

2. Habits Developed

 

Other than experience, the habits of an adult or a kid can render a vital function. When unhealthy habits are adopted from the beginning, a kid may grow a weaker immune system. On becoming an adult, he/she may be unable to deal better with coronavirus than a kid. Contrary to this, adults with better immunity can be found to have developed better habits. Mr. Rao explains whether in young age or in old age, these habits can accompany such adults to effectively fight viruses as life-threatening as COVID-19.

 

3. Immune Response

 

In addition to the above, the immunologist, Kanury Rao has disclosed that in some instances, children can show better immune responses than adults. It is in these instances that children may show better immunity and fight the virus in a more effective manner. Also, in a kid’s immune system, T cells can work better. Thus, he/she can yield stronger responses for removing viruses from the body.

 

Conclusion

 

There may be no definite answer to whose immune system can deal better with COVID-19. Based on the age of an individual, several elements can be understood. These elements can include immune responses, habits, etc. For an adult or a kid, when these elements have been assessed, it can be known whose immune system can send a better response to the illness.
