Then you've read and listened wrong. It seems to be more virulent in unvaccinated patients than previous strains. As hospital cases would tend to show.

And you are. . . a pediatric emergency room doc in Texas? Bye Felicia

you know that no child has died of covid in DC?

Yes, I do.

Well, you are wrong.

Here is one: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/pregnant-washington-dc-mother-and-child-die-covid-19/65-15e10518-2fd4-4b2c-9dea-9205fb59ae2e

This was a pregnant 43 year old woman. Not a child.

This is the best example of how the delta panickers don't actually read the articles. Just the scary titles.

DP. +1 to the bold.

Scientists right now are concerned about the potential even for vaccinated adults/teens to get infected with Delta, have few or no symptoms, but also infect others with Delta who are unvaccinated/cannot be vaccinated and who will get very ill.

Clearly children who are too young to be vaccinated are potential carriers and spreaders, even if-- like this oh so optimistic parent above believes--they themselves end up fine.

I'm amazed at the adults who shrug and say "My kid will be fine, I expect my kid to get it" who have ZERO consideration of the larger health implications for their family members and their community as a whole.

"MY child will be fine." Lovely. Risk your own kid's health. Your prerogative. But it doesn't begin and end with your kid. If your kid gives the virus to you, a vaccinated adult, and you too are OK but pass it on--and it goes on and on -- that's how we never get past this. But posters like that PP won't know, and would not care if they did know, if their kid's infection ended up, several transmissions down the line, killing someone they'll never know about. Just does not matter to them. Their ignorance of public health is staggering and their lack of concern for those they won't ever meet is appalling. They don't want to see that they live in a world larger than their families.

Wake up. We're not going to get "past this." Covid is, and will, be endemic. We're all going get vaccinated, or contract the virus and develop natural immunity, or both (most likely both).

Kids have lower mortality than vaccinated adults. Unless they have a condition that makes them susceptible, they are better off contracting the virus, and developing immunity, earlier in life, rather than later.

False. "More communicable" would translate into more hospital cases. A very small % of a larger number is a larger number. Get it?

Did you read the article?
She was six months pregnant and the baby died, too.

Which is very sad but not terribly pertinent to a discussion of spread in elementary schools.

Yikes. Eye opening twitter thread, thanks for posting OP.

Sent from Texas... school started back today, illegal to mandate masks.

A gestating baby. A potential child. It's a sad story, but this is not a story of a child dying. Are you a pro-lifer? Only they talk about unborn children like this.

You still didn’t read it. The baby was born and lived 5 days. Do you believe in infanticide up to 5 days old?

She was in a coma, they induced birth and the child died as a result. The child did not die of COVID.

"they were told his cause of death was from a lack of oxygen to the brain while his mom was in a coma."

If you don't understand why giving birth, alive or post mortem, has ZERO to do with the rate of kids catching COVID at school and being hospitalized (if any), can't help you.
