Are there long term consequences of children getting infected with COVID19 such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis seen in measles that presents 6-15 years after infection? We don't know!

This virus is 11 months old, so letting kids get infected is not a good idea.
We've recently learned of myocarditis occuring weeks after infection. Letting kids and teens get infected because they reportedly are less likely to "not die" is unethical. I don't know what the long term effects are, but it's unpredictable and that worries me.
If we want schools open THEN we have to get cases down and that takes a UNIFIED NATIONAL PLAN, which Trump is not interested in.
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)—is a rare form of chronic progressive brain inflammation caused by slow infection with certain defective strains of measles virus. It has been estimated that about 1 in 10,000 people who get measles will eventually develop SSPE
