While President Donald Trump insisted that children are "almost immune" to catching COVID-19, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently found that there had been a 90 percent increase in children contracting the virus over four weeks.

An AAP report released on August 6 found that there had been 380,174 cases among children, representing 9.1 percent of all available cases at the time. Between July 9 and August 6, childhood cases rose overall by 90 percent.

The report was based on data from 49 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam. Texas only reported age in 8 percent of cases, while New York state did not include a statewide breakdown of cases by age, although the report does include data from New York City.

During a Tuesday morning appearance on Fox Sports Radio's Outkick the Coverage Trump remarked that "young kids, almost none have a serious problem with" COVID-19. One day prior to the release of the AAP report, the president claimed during an appearance on Fox News that children are "almost immune" to catching the virus.

His tongue is forked and LIES with impunity.
