In this review, we discuss proposed hypotheses for the age-related difference in severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Factors proposed to explain the difference in severity of COVID-19 in children and adults include those that put adults at higher risk and those that protect children. The former include: (1) age-related increase in endothelial damage and changes in clotting function; (2) higher density, increased affinity and different distribution of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptors and transmembrane serine protease 2; (3) pre-existing coronavirus antibodies (including antibody-dependent enhancement) and T cells; (4) immunosenescence and inflammaging, including the effects of chronic cytomegalovirus infection; (5) a higher prevalence of comorbidities associated with severe COVID-19 and (6) lower le

The Archivist has been involved with a number of children who have been waiting for an organ transplant. Once accepted onto a transplant list, the waiting and apprehension can be unbearable for the patient and family. It is clear that there have been many efforts to increase the awareness of organ donation in the public. There have been other efforts to increase the potential donor pool by liberalising donor acceptance criteria, using heavier grafts and grafts from adults, and grafts with marginal physiological function.
