[quote=Anonymous]Ok but why didn’t day cares react similarly to flu pre-covid? That seemed riskier than covid for kids. Covid does not seem nearly as dangerous as flu for kids. From a February 2020 article about flu: “Children ages 4 and younger have been hospitalized at a rate of 80.1 per 100,000 children, the highest rate the CDC has on record, even surpassing rates during the 2009 pandemic.” https://publications.aap.org/aapnews/news/9761 From a January 7 NYT article: “More than four in 100,000 children ages 4 and younger admitted to hospitals were infected with the coronavirus as of Jan. 1 — double the rate reported a month ago and about three times the rate this time last year.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/07/health/covid-children-hospitals.html Notice how the NYT article is carefully worded too because they probably don’t know if the children under 4 were hospitalized for covid or something else, like a broken bone.
