Why are so many Indonesian children dying from coronavirus?

ABC  

As Indonesian authorities look to ease coronavirus restrictions, doctors are warning that children seem particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 in South-East Asia's most populous country. Key points: A peak paediatrician body found 160 children with suspected COVID-19 had died Poor nutrition can lead to stunting in children, making them 10 times more vulnerable to sickness Indonesia's low rate of testing means the true number of cases could be much higher According to Australia's Department of Health, emerging epidemiologic reports on COVID-19 in children show that while they are less likely than adults to be infected and have severe illness, they are still vulnerable. Achmad Yurianto, a senior health ministry official, told Reuters that Indonesian children were caught in a "devil's circle" — a cycle of malnutrition and anaemia that increased their vulnerability to the coronavirus. Many Indonesian children are also affected by stunting, which the World Health Organization says is the "impaired growth and development that children experience from poor nutrition, repeated infection and inadequate psychosocial stimulation." Meanwhile, some 20 per cent of primary school-aged children in Indonesia are overweight or obese, meaning the country has what UNICEF calls the "double burden" where under- and over-nutrition coexist.
