[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The premise of this post is wrong and risks a disservice to the discussion. More kids have died of COVID than the flu. Both are extremely small risks, and the COVID risk in particular doesn't warrant the extreme measures taken in APS and elsewhere. But it is factually incorrect to say that any kid has "less risk with COVID." It is definitely more risky, just not enough for closing schools, masks, quarantining, etc. When you make the incorrect "less risky" claim it undermines better points around masking, quarantining, etc.[/quote] This is factually correct. See the CDC's data. They estimate almost 500 kids died in the few weeks of the 2019-2020 flu season, which is smaller than annual deaths from COVID in kids. See all the other years too on the CDC"s website - H1N1 is estimated to have killed even 900 to 1800 kids during that short season. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2019-2020.html [/quote]
