May and June have seen the tentative, gradual reopening of schools, retail outlets and houses of worship around the globe. The extent of the easing varies from country to country and city to city. But one thing is for sure: Most parts of the world look very different than they did just a few months ago and likely will for some time. Here are some examples.

Can children spread coronavirus, even if they’re asymptomatic?
A July CDC report that examines a coronavirus outbreak at one Georgia summer camp suggests that the coronavirus was able to spread quickly and easily among the nearly 600 children, teens and adults who attended the camp. Of those tested, 76% were positive for the coronavirus. Notably, about 26% of those with coronavirus were asymptomatic.
However, a commentary in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics published in August claims children are far more likely to contract the coronavirus from adults than adults are from children. The authors conclude that children are not significant drivers of coronavirus community spread. “Therefore,” the authors write, “consideration should be paid toward strategies that allow schools to remain open, even during periods of COVID-19 spread.”
Just as there are still many unknowns when it comes to COVID-19, no one can say for sure to what extent children can spread the coronavirus. However, one thing is certain — they do spread it.
What happens to children who get infected with coronavirus
Fortunately, in the vast majority of pediatric coronavirus cases, the prognosis appears to be very good. It’s still believed that most kids don’t get as sick as adults with COVID-19 — in fact, many may show no symptoms at all.
What are the symptoms of this rare inflammatory syndrome?
The symptoms reported by patients and doctors vary. Doctors have observed persistent fever, red eyes and skin rash, as well as low blood pressure, inflammation, pale and sometimes blue lips and skin, trouble breathing and lethargy.
Knowledge about multisystem inflammatory syndrome remains limited, but some children who have recovered have talked to the media about their experiences.
One teenage boy, speaking to the New York Times in May, described the feeling as “like someone injected you with straight-up fire” during his hospitalization for heart failure.
A 12-year-old girl told the Washington Post she remembered having “weird” bluish lips and feeling “super tired” before doctors say she went into cardiac arrest.
Doctors say another 12-year-old girl developed a blood clot that stopped her heart. “It felt like someone was stabbing my leg,” she told NBC, who reported that it took 45 minutes of CPR to get it started again.
So far no one knows for sure, but some doctors believe it may be some kind of delayed reaction of the child’s immune system that’s abnormal and unusually aggressive. Doctors speculate that while trying to fight off the virus, children’s immune systems overreact and start damaging normal, healthy cells, like those in their organs. They suggest this also could be what leads to the dangerous drop in blood pressure often observed.
