Study says 43% of children have antibodies of coronaviruses

A recent study published in Science magazine says it could be that children already have antibodies to other coronaviruses and these antibodies may block SARS-CoV2, saving children from the new pandemic. A group of researchers at Francis Crick Institute in London, led by George Kassiotis, who heads the Retroviral Immunology Laboratory at the institute, reported that on an average, only 5% of adults have these antibodies, as compared to 43% of children.
