being overwhelmed with pediatric covid patients in the ICU.
I asked him for the data and he wouldn't provide it. just linked news stories that also never provided any data.
the state of TN is pretty good about providing that data though and it was easy to look up. Yesterday the ENTIRE state of TN had about 50 kids under 17 years old hospitalized for covid and 12 in the ICU. and who knows what the overall health status of those particular kids is. Likely other severe comorbidities.
Granted nobody wants to see a kid die or even be sick. but 50 and 12 are statistically irrelevant.
and for the "even if it saves one life" crowd there are myriad other commonplace things that endanger kids more than covid so I guess we better start bubble wrapping them and outlawing a lot of things.
btw JG I'm STILL waiting for you to provide a link to the RCT study on cloth masks the conclusion of which shows strong efficacy in stopping viral transmission.
