[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sooo... there is nothing that says that the increased virulence is magically restricted to adults.

Remember when we were reading that children could magically never be infected? Or be ill? Or when we read that they magically never could transmit?

This poor NYTimes article came out many long long hours before the WaPo game-changing article on CDC's new understanding of the pandemic.[/quote]

[b]No, no one said that children couldn't be infected or be ill or transmit. [/b] Yes, it is still true that children are less likely to get, be ill from, and (probably) transmit alpha covid.

Yes, delta is being shown to be more transmissible, and that is true for children, as reflected in the articles cited above.

No, you haven't seen anything that says that delta is worse than alpha for kids who contract it.

Yes, there are more cases of delta in children than alpha, because it is more transmissible.  Yes, that means that the overall number of kids who get sick from covid (delta) will be higher.

Why don't we....idk....wait for data before losing our minds?[/quote]

Ohh, you're *that* kind of guy.
The kind that denies the prior batch of untrue placating bullshit, feeds a new fresh heaping, and when that doesn't work, suggests we wait before losing our minds.[/quote]

DP. Nobody except the dumbest Trumpers ever said that kids "magically" could not be infected, get ill, or transmit. Maybe there were some posters of that ilk here on DCUM as well, but why do you think the PP was among them? That's quite an assumption on an anonymous forum. What sane people here and elsewhere have been emphasizing all along is what you can read in the PP's follow up post - that kids are very unlikely to get severely ill (still true with delta), and less likely than adults to get infected and transmit (probably still true with delta, but maybe less so).

You do sound panicked though, so any nuance in arguments may just have gotten scrambled in your mind.[/quote]
