Public health officials and scientists often talk about how children have been largely spared from the devastation of covid-19. According to surveys and studies of small groups of children, the symptoms include fatigue, headache and heart palpitations. And a research project funded by the National Institutes of Health that is getting underway will explore the range of impacts covid-19 has had on children. More than half of the 129 children had persistent symptoms after four months, and 43 percent felt effects during daily activities. Before covid-19, Delaney — who aspires to be a choreographer when she grows up — used to attend ballet, contemporary, jazz, hip-hop and tap dance classes at least four times a week.
