So we've talked about the differences in how COVID-19 affects older people to younger children. I was wondering what is the susceptibility when it comes to infants? Also, I thought MaryJo did a really good job on her presentation!:)

She did do a good job!  I am not sure if there have been any studies looking specifically at infants.  Infants are actually protected by their mother's immune system but if the mother has not had COVID-19 and has not made any antibodies against the virus, an infant would be just as vulnerable as anyone else.
