My teen got COVID at school. 104 fever and severe gastrointestinal symptoms, two ER visits. She is fully immunized! Our school district does not encourage masks. Teens suffer social exclusion and bullying if masked.
The recklessness is inexplicable!
More child deaths in the last week of August than the whole rest of the pandemic. Hospitalization trends suggest they will rise higher and higher.
This is preventable.

Columbia County teen dies with COVID-19 days before start of senior year, family says Mother says 17-year-old wanted to attend University of Florida, become a surgeon
“…just 2 paediatric intensive care beds, out of a total of 30, were available for sick children for the whole of Ireland.”
“72% of children admitted to ICU did not have underlying conditions”
This might help explain why US hospitalizations are
100,000 in the Delta wave relative to the 3rd wave when there were no vaccinations. And the higher % of children who are getting hospitalized. The Delta high viral load/dose may be the culprit
2,339 US children were hospitalized with COVID-19 last week.
this is the 4th week in a row of record breaking child hospitalizations from COVID-19.
as the unqualified 'play' life & death with science these numbers will only worsen.
