Original Note:
The CDC is tracking Mycoplasma Pneumoniae or "Walking Pneumonia" infections. https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-new/mycoplasma-pneumoniae-infections-have-been-increasing.html The disease is so named because it rarely causes severe illness or death, especially in children. Children are less likely to die of COVID than adults, but it was and is a risk even for them. https://www.cdc.gov/mycoplasma/about/index.html https://data.unicef.org/topic/child-survival/covid-19/
