Interesting stats on how CV19 doesn't affect kids.

Thought I would dive into a rabbit hole and see how this thing affects kids. It's rather interesting. The CDC said only 1.7% of the cases are under the age of 18. The CDC examined data in 14 states and said the hospitalization rate was only 0.3% for children.
Looking at some states seems to bear that out. Take a look.
Louisiana
Cases: 342
Deaths: 1
% of Cases: 1.25%
% of Deaths: 0%
Florida
Cases 0-15 years: 514
Hospitalizations: 16
Deaths: 0
% of Hospitalizations: 2%
% of Cases: 2%
% of Deaths: 0
Good ole Mississippi
Cases: 197
Hospitalizations: 8
Deaths: 0
% of overall cases: 3%
% of Deaths: 0
% of Hospitalizations: 0.7%
Michigan
Cases: 2%
Deaths: 0%
Texas
189 cases
0 Deaths
% of Cases: 3.7%
Then there is Italy. Believe it or not, children fared fairley well in Italy.
Cases: 1.8%
Deaths: 0.1%
The CDC said in a report that examined data through April 2:
2,572 (1.7%) occurred in children aged <18 years
So......
when do we quit freaking out about kids playing together? Better yet, when do we start discussing ways to put them back in school?

Is the Louisiana death the premature baby that tested negative?
I’ve read conflicting stories on how it would be counted

These illnesses are odd. The Spanish flu only attacked healthy people.

The one death in LA was a 20week preterm baby who mom had covid. The baby did not have covid

There’s early studies out there that suggest it may be causing something else in kids. Saw in the news today.

All this talk about protecting the children.
Frankly, the stats make you wonder if the children need protecting.

You know the risk isn't just the kids health right? It's about the spread.
I'm not saying we shouldn't open back up, I'm just correcting your horrible logic.

What if they are poor vectors and don't really carry the disease?
Dr. Osterholm says put them back in school.

That's something else entirely. Is it even factual?

My God could you imagine the Karens if this virus affected kids? We’d all be under house arrest.

The entire point of kids being "socially distanced" is the idea that they can be infected just as readily and spread it around.
So, a school could mean not one kid gets sick and dies but tons of them spread it around and bring it back home to all their families.
Perhaps that's not true but it's different stats than what you post which would show it.
To convince people about school's re-opening, we don't need opinions but high volume tests of kids to possibly reveal something like this:
For example: "5K kids that were in households with Covid+ person were tested and only 4% tested positive as non-symptomatic carriers. "

Kids are vectors for the parents and grandparents.

It’s not about protecting the kids
It’s about controlling the spread
Why aren’t people grasping this yet?

If this virus affected kids like the elderly there would be way more Karens. And for good reason

I thought it was protecting the elderly & compromised people the kids came in contact sign

Have they started doing antibody studies on kids? I bet they are walking around spreading it with no symptoms
Posted on 4/28/20 at 10:42 pm to deeprig9
Are they?
Has anyone proven they are vectors for older people?
The Swiss are reopening their schools. Their expert, Dr. Daniel Koch, says the kids are bad vectors for the disease as their immune systems are so robust.

Perhaps that's not true but it's very different stats than what you post which would show it.
To convince enough people about school's re-opening, we don't need opinions but actual high volume tests of kids to possibly reveal something like this:
For example: "5K kids that were in households with Covid+ person were tested and only 4% tested positive as non-symptomatic carriers. "

quote:According to the CDC, during the 2017-2018 flu season, one of the worst in decades (over 61,000 deaths), there were 11,190,943 symptomatic infections and 643 deaths for those under 18.
The CDC said in a report that examined data through April 2:
2,572 (1.7%) occurred in children aged <18 years
So that is 1 death per 17,404 symptomatic infections in one of the deadly flu seasons in decades, 40% more deadly than the average flu season fatality rate estimate (0.14% vs. 0.1%).
Since NYC has detailed information regarding cases and deaths as well as the most reliable study on antibodies (to estimate the true number of infections). We know that they’ve had 5 deaths under 18 out of 3,555 cases, or 1 1 out of every 711 cases.
Since the antibody study indicates that the infections rate (24.7%) is about 13.16 times the case totals (1.88%), that extrapolates to about 46,768 infections for those under 18, or 1 out of 9,354 infections.
And considering that schools have been closed, which limits the primary vector for spread amongst that group, particularly the truly vulnerable (e.g., compromised immune system) my guess is that those under 18 are probably far less likely to have gotten infected than those 18 + (say 25 to 50 percent), which puts their fatalities at 1 out of every 2,338 to 4,677, which 3.7 to 7.4 times more deadly than the one of the most deadly flu season in decades, and 5 to 10 more deadly than the average seasonal flu.
