[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone keeps using this word "safe". Omicron isn't a meaningful threat to children. Cases are up, but hospitalizations are flat. Your children are safer today than they were a year ago when no one was testing, we knew less about the virus, the virus was more deadly, and we lacked treatments for it. Your kid is more likely to die on the walk/drive to school than from COVID at this point.

We can have discussions about appropriate mitigations (I'm for them). But it's important to keep things in perspective here. Failing to do everything possible to mitigate omicron in school isn't actually going to meaningfully threaten your kids. [/quote]

Except hospitalizations are up.

Not in DC brainiac. But keep fear mongering [/quote]

Sorry, brainiac. Can you help me parse this sentence then?

“The number of kids hospitalized with Covid has more than doubled in 10 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, according to the analysis.”[/quote]

If you read the rest of the thread before calling people names you’d see there’s a difference between child hospitalizations and all hospitalizations. You’d also see Antony Fauci explaining that the child hospitalization figure isn’t worth panicking over.

Try to keep up. [/quote]
