Since the start of 2020 through May 8, 2021, children age 0-17 were 1 of every 103 deaths in the US.
This age group was 1 out of every 1,979 Coronavirus deaths.
This is 19 times lower than the former.
Raw Data:
43,258 children died of all causes.
287 died with Coronavirus.

A retort to the above is:
“287 lives are nothing?”
Answer: We didn’t turn the world upside down due to the natural loss of 43,258 children lives since the start of 2020. Doing so for 287 may cause more harm than gain.
87.7 kids die a day.
0.58 of a child per day with Covid-19.

Another retort:
“Death is not the only harm done to kids by Coronavirus.”
Answer: True, but a certain level of illness leads to a certain level of deaths. Since Coronavirus deaths is 0.58 of a child a day, it means the non-death incidents are lower than what some think it is.

Answer: True, but a certain level of illness leads to a certain level of deaths. Since Coronavirus deaths is 0.58 of a child a day, it means the non-death incidents are lower than what some think it is.
Non-death costs from lockdowns (depression, etc) and death costs (ODs and delay in care for serious illnesses) in children is likely above the cost from Coronavirus among children.
So if you care about the cost, embrace a return to normal; not a continuation of craziness.
