In total, 169 of the 632 listed deaths in kids 17 or under likely have NOTHING to do with covid, but are counted as a covid death. Imagine if we had access to audit the other 463?
Sadly, children have died from covid. But it's rare, and its rarer than we're being led to believe.

Haven't updated these in a while. These will be Cases/Hospitalizations/Deaths on a raw basis by age group, and then Cases/Hospitalizations/Deaths on a percent basis by age group
First up, raw 7d avg cases by age group. Cases driven by overtesting 30-49 and 0-17
/1
Second, raw 7d avg Hospitalizations by age group. No surprises here, still being driven by older age groups. At the same case rate during the 2020 Winter wave, hospitals were slightly lower in most age groups.
/2
Third, raw 7d avg Deaths by Age group. Again, no surprises. We've been sustaining flat death rates since the summer wave, no doubt this will go higher in the coming weeks.
Those under 50 look to have seen no improvement in the post vax era. (Not worse, either)
#MN#COVID19 So thanks to @EWoodhouse7, I went down the rabbit hole of looking through Minnesota data. They are one of the few states I've seen that tracks both breakthrough cases and refinfections. They also track it in a transparent way which makes it easy to follow
/1
First up, reinfection. While I'd love to see more details on these (severity/age/etc), you can see that for the most part under 2% of the cases are reinfections. This is a 7day average to smooth the data. The bumps in Feb/Mar/June bumps are unexplained and interesting.
/2
Second, breakthrough infections. This has been a steady climb higher since they began tracking, and now represents 45% of all cases in a given week. This is data reported as a sum of breakthroughs divided by sum of total cases for the week.
#COVID19 Here's one of my main issues with vaccination right now. This goes for all ages, but concentrating on just children right now:
- All of the Covid vaccine clinical trials removed anyone who had recovered from Covid. As a result, there's no data.
/1
- Theres still not a single piece of data, or study that looks at a vaccination cohort who also has natural immunity. Why is this?
- Kids trials were so underpowered that any "rare" adverse event will likely to have been missed.
/2
- I theorize that while combined myocarditis rate in kids might be 1 in 5000, because we lack any data that separates kids vaccinated from kids vaccinated who had natural immunity, we might be missing a big issue.

#US#COVID19 Poking around the FDA doc in preparation for the Oct 26 mtg for 5-11 EUA, Check out this slide. If 10 mil kids get the dose, we will have 6 mil kids with fatigue, 5 million kids with headaches, and up to a mil kids with a fever?
This guy is becoming the worst of the worst in NJ. rivaling Albright. Total muppet. Linking a chart that has raw numbers on the left *IN THE ENTIRE US*.
Hey Shereef, how many are RSV coinfections, DO YOU KNOW?
How many are just covid positive but in the hosp for something else?
