Did you read? The OP’s child was so bad they needed hospitalization.[/quote]

It doesn't sound like OP's kid was actually hospitalized.[/quote]

NP here. My kid was actually hospitalized with RSV. I can’t believe parents of young kids are still so terrified of COVID despite somehow existing with the risk of RSV before, which is way worse for the really little ones. [/quote]

Both are equally concerning.[/quote]

Of course they are concerning but anyone who is actually being honest recognizes we can't continue masking young children or requiring 10 day quarantines forever and neither COVID nor RSV are going away. [/quote]

Long COVID is real. I don’t want that for my kid.[/quote]

So I heard a report that something like 75% of kids had antibodies for omicron- probably a lot of kids have had extremely mild/asymptomatic, undetected cases (during a time of very high mask usage).  I wonder how many will manifest as long Covid……

I'm hopeful it won't be a lot

[quote]Over the last two years, experts’ understanding of long Covid in children has deepened. Several peer-reviewed studies now include control groups consisting of children who did not have Covid-19 but who have lived through the same pandemic conditions — loneliness, interrupted schooling, anxiety, tensions at home, the loss of loved ones, and the like.

These studies indicate that long Covid in children is rare and, when it does occur, is short-lived. In one study, 97% of children ages 5 to 11 with Covid-19 recovered completely within four weeks. In the small group that had bothersome symptoms after four weeks (usually loss of smell or fatigue), most had fully recovered by eight weeks.[/quote]

That sounds more like medium-Covid.  What about the unknown effects that we won't know until years from now?  Some astonishing changes to the brain have been observed in adults but has anyone looked at this in kids?[/quote]

Let me google that for you  :roll:

[quote]The study volunteers were predominantly White and were all middle-aged or older adults. It’s unknown how the findings will translate to younger adults or to children. The researchers pointed out that the effects were greater in the study’s older participants.[/quote]

Dr. Google will tell me all the long term effects years from now? Wow he is pretty smart![/quote]

This is what I was answering from your post:
