[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's not more dangerous for kids, then why are we seeing tweets about 12 kids in the emergency room in Texas or Florida where previously kids scraped through without even going to the hospital?  We know it is certainly more dangerous for adults, and it seems unduly confident, given this other evidence, not to assume it is also more dangerous for kids, but I'd understand why parents want to believe everything is going to be fine.[/quote]

Don't look for tweets to confirm your own anxiety. I'm not saying "everything is going to be fine," but it is important to remember that Twitter posts are designed to get lots and lots of clicks. Take a deep breath and evaluate your own situation.

Here are some numbers available at the VDH for children 0-9 years old:

25,572 total cases
296 kids hospitalized
2 deaths[/quote]

I m ok with the 2 deaths. Unless on of them is my kid. [/quote]

You are shameful. [/quote]

I'm assuming the PP is sarcastic in response to all those saying this is no big deal.  We still don't ever see the numbers on a regular basis for kids with long covid, myocarditis or other longer lasting implications.  Covid itself may only hit my child like a common cold, but if he is fatigued or has memory issues for months that is a big deal.  That's the stat I want to see before I'm reassured.  We are accepting the risk of in-person school but doesn't mean I'm not very nervous.[/quote]

Youre never getting that stat, sorry to tell you [/quote]
