And as of yesterday's news, apparently, not just more kids ill, but kids more ill, as they've now established that delta causes more severe illness. [/quote]

Please cite the link for delta causing more severe illness in children.  [/quote]

More severe illness. It doesn't specify 'in children', it just implies 'in humans,' which children are. [/quote]

If you read the myriad articles of the threats to delta IN CHILDREN, it does not reflect that.  As we've witnessed, covid behave differently in kids, so saying that something happens "for humans" shouldn't immediately translate to kids.  You should gain solace from that.[/quote]
Solace from fact-twisting delusions? Is that like holistic self-hypnotherapy alternative to Xanax? I'll stay lucid, thank you. 
It certainly does translate to children - there is absolutely nothing that shows otherwise.[/quote]

"Overall the news is reassuring when it comes to children and the risks of serious complications from Covid-19.[b] New research suggests the Delta variant may cause more serious illness in adults, but it’s not known if the variant puts children at greater risk of more serious illness. [/b]Compared to adults, children diagnosed with Covid-19 are more likely to have mild symptoms or none at all. Children are also far less likely to develop severe illness, be hospitalized or die from the disease. Out of about 3.5 million cases of Covid-19 in children in the United States, the National Center for Health Statistics has reported, as of July 28, that 519 children have died from Covid-19 (fewer than 0.015 percent), including 346 children 5 to 17 years of age, and 173 children 4 or younger. Children with underlying medical conditions are the most likely to be hospitalized. Black and Hispanic children also had higher rates of hospitalization, although overall risk remained low."

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]
