[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are going to get COVID. And you know what? They're going to be totally fine. I'd be surprised if my kids didnt already have it, and we never knew it. [/quote]

45 kids died of Covid in the past 2 weeks. [/quote]

Source?[/quote]

https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20and%20CHA%20-%20Children%20and%20COVID-19%20State%20Data%20Report%208.26%20FINAL-update.pdf[/quote]

See, the number of states reporting changed from 43 to 45 in the past two week (8/12 to 8/26), ergo that increase isn't necessarily an increase.[/quote]

These numbers show the death rate among children has plummeted.

At the beginning of the pandemic, 0.06 percent of kids who had COVID died.

As of last week, 0.01 percent of kids with COVID died.

That's an 83 percent decline. [/quote]

I suck at math so honest question - doesn’t that mean that 1 in 100 kids with covid die???[/quote]

No.

1 in 100 = 1 percent

1 in 10,000 = 0.01 percent[/quote]

But even that, that’s assuming every kid that has COVID has been diagnosed.[/quote]

Right, which is why the UK numbers are probably more useful (maybe?); that estimate is 1/2,000,000 of a kid dying from covid.  Like it's just (covid deaths) / (number of kids).[/quote]
