section_headers: COVID-19 and Children
What is the risk of my child becoming sick with COVID-19?
section_content: Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for
COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with
COVID-19, adults make up most of the known cases to date. You can learn more
about who is at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 at People who
are at higher risk for severe
illness.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is excellent because it answers the question perfectly by stating that those with asthma cannot get COVID more easily than those without asthma.
While this answer does discuss the risk overall for children, it says nothing about asthma.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People with Moderate to Severe Asthma
section_headers: Risk of Severe Illness from COVID-19
section_content: People with moderate to severe asthma may be at higher risk of getting very
sick from COVID-19. COVID-19 can affect your respiratory tract (nose, throat,
lungs), cause an asthma attack, and possibly lead to pneumonia and acute
respiratory disease.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer needs to be improved because it does talk about how COVID affects those with asthma, but does not necessarily answer the question since it fails to mention whether or not those with asthma can get COVID more easily.
This is a concise answer and states that children with asthma are at a righer risk.

section_content: There is much more to be learned about how this disease affects children.
While some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, most illnesses
have been among adults. Some reports suggest that infants under 1 year old and
those with underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk of serious
illness from COVID-19 than other children.

Children with COVID-19 generally have mild, cold-like symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough. Vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported in some children.
Children with certain underlying medical conditions, such as chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma, serious heart conditions, or weak immune systems, might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Call your child’s healthcare provider if you are worried about your child’s health or if your child has symptoms of COVID-19.
In case of emergency, call 911 or go to your local emergency department. Emergency departments have infection prevention plans to protect you and your child from getting COVID-19 if your child needs emergency care. Do not delay getting emergency care for your child because of COVID-19.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer details the steps one should take if their child gets covid, but says nothing about overall risks and asthma.
This answer needs improvement because it does not answer the question in full about whether or not those with asthma can get COVID more easily than others. The answer only talks about the higher risk of complications from COVID.
