Children are part of social life and, of course, they also play a role. But children deserve our special protection. With children, it is not just about health, because they are hardly affected. It’s about life. It is about the educational careers I am throwing into the balance and the economic development of a child. With very few exceptions, children do not have Covid; This is not a childhood illness you should focus on. They would only pay more if you take away their education, school and social life without any personal benefit. ”
