Just once would work. Let me know if you ever do it. I'd be interested in reading the list of diseases you are including to make your numbers work. (and the ones you are excluding, more importantly).
With more children hospitalizations and deaths in the Omicron wave than the rest of the pandemic in total -- somehow Covid-deniers still don't believe that Covid is a threat to children. Even as the Covid cases in children greatly increase and the follow-up cases of MIS-C are likely to be more numerous. Record-Breaking Coronavirus Infections Among Children Prompts Concerns of MIS-C MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, is a rare but serious condition that can show up in kids several weeks after COVID-19 infection. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-...hildren-prompts-concerns-of-mis-c?context=amp

Yep... the Covid-deniers keeps telling us it doesn't hurt children. Yet we get story after story like this... Father Of Local 17-Year-Old Who Died From COVID Warns Others About Risks Of Not Getting Vaccinated https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/202...arents-about-risks-of-not-getting-vaccinated/ A father in Orange County is dealing with unbearable grief after his healthy, 17-year-old daughter died Friday morning from COVID, and he’s speaking out in hopes of saving others the same pain. “Ah, the call we got at 4 a.m. was just that we needed to come right now,” said Lee Stonum. Stonum, an attorney in Orange County, rushed to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Friday morning to be at the bedside of his only child. “Took her off life support and she…and she died at 8 a.m. this morning,” the grieving father said. San Juan Hills High School junior Kennedy Stonum had COVID. She had no preexisting health issues, but she wouldn’t get a vaccine for the coronavirus. “Myself and my wife and he grandmother pleaded, pleaded with her. I think like most teenagers, she felt indestructible. I know I did when I was that age. She didn’t know enough about the vaccine and she did know enough the virus that she would risk the virus,” Stonum said. Kennedy’s COVID illness caused a series of life threatening complications that came on quickly, according to her dad. The teenager had multi-system inflammatory syndrome and a rare disease that caused her immune system to attack cells in her body. While Kennedy’s case may be rare, Stonum said he had a message for kids, like his daughter, who may be avoiding the COVID vaccine. “I want to tell them to trust the science. I want to tel them that YouTube and TikTok aren’t research. I want to tell them that even if it’s a one in a million chance, those statistics don’t matter when it’s your child. What happened to Kennedy was exceedingly unlikely and very, very rare and none of that matters to me now.” Stonum and his daughter shared a special song, and last night, he sang it to Kennedy one final time. “The line that I really like from it is…’Wherever I am, you’ll always be more than just a memory if f I ever leave this world alive.'” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all children, 5-years-old and up get a COVID-19 vaccination. In addition, the CDC provides helpful resource on how to talk about vaccines with parents and teenagers.
1/3 of the population does not know that they have an underlying medical condition that can be exploited by Covid while they think they're healthy. Anyone that doesn't want to be vaccinated...it's very smart to see a Doctor to have complete physical and blood chemistry tests to ensure that they're truly healthy. They'll then know if they can risk being not vaccinated. The Parents of the 17 year old should have had her see their family Doctor for a complete physcial and blood chemistry work to ensure she's not one of the 1/3 of the population that has an underlying medical condition while thinking she is "healthy". Joining school sports or starting a new job at the minimum requires the individuals to have a complete physical...deciding to not be vaccinated or deciding to get vaccinated should have the same requirements. Just as important, wear a damn N95 or better face mask. My teenagers told me they're still going to wear their N95 to school even after the school drops the mask mandate. The school stated those who want to wear their face mask...can continue wearing them as of today February 14th and those that do not want to...they're no longer required to wear them. Simply, everybody now has a "choice" without the uproar about losing their freedom to decide what's best for themself. wrbtrader
Yadda... yadda... yadda... all we hear from the Covid-denier clowns is that Covid doesn't hurt children. The reality is very different. Maybe the Covid-deniers need to shut their yaps. Omicron wave was brutal on kids; hospitalization rates 4X higher than delta’s Incidental cases do not account for the jump in hospitalizations, the authors found. https://arstechnica.com/science/202...-hospitalization-rates-4x-higher-than-deltas/

Every day we see another story in the press like this. But the Covid-deniers simply claim that Covid is not killing enough children to be worried about it. Despite Covid killing more children over the past two years than all other common childhood diseases combined. Parents Mourn 7-Year-Old Daughter Who Died of COVID Less Than 72 Hours After Testing Positive "It was just so fast," Adalyn Graviss’ dad Adam said. “Hours before going to the hospital, she was running in the front yard" https://people.com/health/parents-m...id-less-than-72-hours-after-testing-positive/ The parents of 7-year-old Adalyn Graviss are mourning the loss of their daughter, who died less than 72 hours after testing positive for COVID-19. Adalyn, a second grader from Knoxville, Tennessee, died Feb. 7 after developing a severe neurological response to the virus. "She was just a happy, healthy, normal, beautiful soul," her mom, Jennifer, told Good Morning America. "She was just so sweet, an amazing kid." Adalyn, who hadn't yet been vaccinated against COVID-19, had felt fine until the morning of Friday, Feb. 4, when she told her parents she felt hot. They took her temperature, which was 102, and had her take an at-home COVID-19 test that came back positive. RELATED: Family Mourning After 10-Year-Old Girl Dies Just Days After Getting COVID: 'It's Not Fair' Adalyn stayed home from school that day and was well enough to play in the front yard, when "all of a sudden" she became severely sick, Jennifer told Knox News, and was struggling to walk or speak. "It was right around the nine o'clock hour when we noticed her speech was all but gone, though she was still responding to us," said Adam told GMA. "By 10 o'clock, I was in the emergency room [with her], and she was unresponsive at that point." "It was just so fast," he added. "Hours before going to the hospital, she was running in the front yard." At Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, doctors immediately put Adalyn on an ECMO machine, a lifesaving device that pumps and a patient's blood outside the body to add oxygen and is often the last solution for severely sick COVID-19 patients. "Even while it was happening, it didn't seem real," Adam said. "Her levels were improving and then she just took a turn for the worse." Doctors determined that Adalyn had a severe case of COVID-19 that had progressed to severe myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, and a rare neurological condition called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), where an infection like COVID-19 triggers inflammation of the brain and spinal cord and damages neurological function. "They think her body was attacked," Jennifer told Knox News. On Monday, just two days after she was admitted to the hospital, Adalyn died. (More at above url)
