[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The state of emergency expires in VA on 6/30. I think it will be a lot of weirdness until then, with people being very deliberate and trying to send a message with their mask wearing or not. After 6/30, I’m hoping people lighten up. Even people with young kids who can’t be vaccinated yet. Everything I do with my kids on a daily basis, like riding bikes/scooters, sports practice, driving around in the car ... carries more risk of hospitalization for that age group than Covid. [/quote]

10% of kids have long Covid. You must be a terrible driver.

Omg. Just omg. This is the level of misinformation and fear mongering we’re dealing with here. Lord have mercy![/quote]

I'm a NP and just Googled that to see if I could find anything and you will not like the answer:

"Data from the UK Office for National Statistics released in February showed that 13 percent of COVID-19 patients under the age of 11 and about 15 percent of those aged 12 to 16 had at least one symptom more than a month after diagnosis. And in a preprint posted on medRxiv at the end of January, researchers surveying caregivers of 129 patients under the age of 18 in Rome found that more than half of the children had yet to completely recover within four months of a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, and nearly one-quarter of the children had three or more symptoms that persisted for at least that long."

"These data lack control groups, making it hard to assess whether symptoms such as fatigue and nasal congestion are truly related to the children’s SARS-CoV-2 infection. But it’s still important work, Lara Danziger-Isakov, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, tells Medscape Medical News about the medRxiv study. “It’s waving a flag to say we need to pay attention to this and do more investigation.”"

Whatever the percentages are, they are overcounts, as the vast majority of cases in the young are asymptomatic and thus not in the denominator.[/quote]
