Despite the overwhelming evidence that Covid-19 rarely kills young children, in Brazil 1,300 babies have died from the virus.
Experts say the sheer number of Covid cases in the country - the second-highest number in the world - have increased the likelihood that Brazil's babies and young children are affected.
Such a high infection rate has overwhelmed Brazil's entire health care system.
Across the country, oxygen supplies are dwindling, there is a shortage of basic medicines and in many ICUs across the country there are simply no more beds.

Now, they develop worse conditions, or they die. Brazil, with a poor health system, unfortunately shows this. Its health system is overwhelmed and moreover things seem to get worse with time.
