Children usually have more infectious diseases per year than adults. Why do you think this is so?

i think it is because kids have a better chance at getting sick because their immune system is not as strong as an adult.

an example would be that a child can get step throat from school from the kids, by the only way an adult can catch it is my their kid

Hello! OK, so my cousin had cancer and the children had to wear masks over their mouth to go into his house or hospital room. This is because children don't have as strong of an immune system as adults. Also, children tend to have more germs than adults. This could be due to school, the playground, or even playing in dirtier places like sand or the dirt.
