Almost half of the cases were in kids 17 and under, whereas in 2020 and 2021 more than half the cases were in the 18 to 49 population, the data show. Kids were a smaller portion of cases in almost every season before COVID-19.Another factor experts are still trying to figure out is whether COVID-19 alters the body’s immune system to make it more susceptible to other illnesses like influenza.
