Children’s mental health is in crisis As pandemic stressors continue, kids’ mental health needs to be addressed in schools https://www.apa.org/monitor/2022/01/special-childrens-mental-health wrbtrader
Actually, that's only part of a bigger picture... Pediatric hospitalization increased a whopping 33% early this year along with the fact there was a dramatic increase in long COVID, myocarditis, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children even though they had very mild symptoms at the outset of their Covid infection. For example, myocarditis is typically more severe in children not vaccinated than in children that are vaccinated and more not vaccinated children suffer from myocarditis than the number of myocarditis in children that are vaccinated...regardless it is rare for both groups. I posted earlier the stats about such in more detail...below are a few charts from that message post. As an example, children and adolescents that are not vaccinated, hospitalized with myocarditis...will have a typical hospital stay of 5 days...there have been deaths. In comparison, children and adolescents that are hospitalized with myocarditis...will have a typical hospital stay of 1 - 2 days but no deaths. Yet, the biggest issue in my opinion are the parental stress, more lost schooling days for a Covid hospitalized child, more parents not being able to work because they're a critical part in the recovery back home for their child and most schools do not have the resources to deal with the mental recovery of a child returning back to school after hospitalization from a Covid illness. Furthering the problem, the social-economic disparities show statistics that people of color with a child hospitalized from a Covid infection...the financial burden on the parents are worst than other ethnicity groups. The government tried or is trying to fix that but surprisingly there are a handful of states putting up barriers for political reasons whereas other states provide the resources for Pediatric care for children still recovering after being released from the hospital. Simply, children rarely are hospitalized from Covid but some states seem to be going out of their way to sabotage the recovery as in make it much more difficult for children to return back to school...healthy...physically and mentally after their hospitalization. wrbtrader
Math is not needed to be exact. Just know that vaccinated deaths are A LOT LESS than not vaccinated deaths. The first chart by the CDC uses a category that I don't like because it merges 18 - 49 year olds. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e2.htm This CDC chart for Covid Deaths for all between April 4th, 2021 - December 4th, 2021...per 100,000 (not vaccinated versus vaccinated) Covid Deaths, Hospitalization and ICU Admission for Adolescents 12 - 17 year olds https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7107e4.htm wrbtrader
