Article lead: The overall risk of children becoming severely ill or dying from Covid is extremely low, a new analysis of Covid infection data confirms.

As far as I can tell the linked report mentions nothing about severity of illness, only mortality.

Edit: Second study is linked to further down the page which addresses the severe illnesses, as ricardobeat points out.

Looks like they are reporting on multiple studies. There is a second paper that includes hospitalization rates linked under the “Hospital stays are rare” section.

Also mentions nothing at all about the rapidly-rising Delta strain that appears to hit younger people much harder than other/earlier strains and in preference to older folk. Ugh. This virus is horrible.

All strains affect younger people more than older ones. Because they aren't vaccinated.
