Which is why I was frustrated last year with the claims that children "rarely contracted it", and somehow suggesting that it was because of the virus itself.

Well what it really seems to have turned out to be was that we made sure kids had the very "mitigation strategies" imposed on them that we needed to have and still need to have imposed on adults and teens. And the main thing that seems to have happened with them in general is that they were either asymptomatic or had what probably mimicked regular "childhood" ailments that they normally get (coughs, fever, etc.) because their immune systems are still being formed, so they were not tested anywhere near as much as adults were.
