BATON ROUGE, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – The Louisiana Department of Health says children under the age of 18 make up ten percent of the 3,477 newly reported cases since Friday.

According to the LDH, that is more reported cases among children than there were for the same period among those aged 70 and older.

In a tweet shortly after the state’s COVID-19 dashboard was updated Sunday, the LDH also tweeted that 33 percent of the new cases are among 18 to 29 years of age.

NOTE: What it doesn’t say is if they are sick? If they just have anti-bodies (shown from the known flawed test) then this is meaningless. Millions are exposed to the Flu each year, their bodies snuff it out before it gets started, they have anti-bodies, and they DO NOT get other people sick ...

“Tested positive” Tests results are very misleading, as many on this post are aware. Thank God.

Cases could very well be the grandchildren of some people, who have tested positive. The health departments are now realizing that they are going to have to start including LOTS of children in the “cases” in order to keep the MSM and Dems in hysterics about not reopening anything or allowing in-person voting, etc.

So all these kids got it within the last week, right? From children who had it from the week before and were not counted and who got it from children the week before and were not counted....

See the problem and that makes the death rate below any noral flu death rate.

They’re getting pretty desperate, frankly.

This actually hits to the core of it:

And Sweden has collapsed to pretty much zero.

We were not testing children prior because we only tested people with symptoms and children don’t normally get sick with Covid. Now we are doing contact tracing and testing everyone AND school is getting ready to not start back. Trump said the schools should go back to normal so they need to test lots of kids to find positive cases because Orange Man Bad

They kept kids locked up with the rest of us. The second wave is just a delay in the herd immunity.

Which is what the Deep State liberals wanted.

Hasn’t it been 10% of the cases for people 18 years-old or less, all along? Why is this news?

Make up the numbers, then spin them to suit the politics.

Strange...

When King County (Seattle) shut down public schools and the University of Washington about five months ago, not even one student had tested positive.

Admiral Giroir, the Testing Guru, is in on the scam too.

He revealed this the other day when he trashed HCQ.

“They kept kids locked up with the rest of us. The second wave is just a delay in the herd immunity.

You are absolutely correct. All they wished to do, since the beginning, was prolong the virus. I see no reason to allow a virus to run through humanity any longer than is necessary.

Now, they breathlessly look at “cases”. Not deaths, “cases”. Then they never tell you whether they were sick or not, just that they are new “cases”. Best part is, the pivot to using “cases” to keep us locked down.

With the way they are testing now, at the rate they are testing, they will have over 300 million tests done in no time!

Doctors are laughing, as this “testing” is proving herd immunity. What will they pivot to once so much testing has been done that herd immunity is proven.

As a side note, herd immunity threshold on this virus is particularly low. I believe Sweden hit it at 17% iirc.

As far as I can tell a "case" is equivalent to a positive Covid-19 test result. This includes people who are displaying no symptoms but are testing positive. As testing becomes more common it's becoming ever clearer the virus is widespread, all the "precautions" have failed, but with very little effect on the health of the vast majority of those "infected".

"Cases" would also include false positives, which anecdotally are coming even from unused swabs some doctors are sending in to show how completely the system and statistics are rigged.

Nobody ever said that young people don’t catch the virus, the key is that they have little if any reaction.

“The health departments are now realizing that they are going to have to start including LOTS of children in the “cases” in order to keep the MSM and Dems in hysterics about not reopening anything or allowing in-person voting, etc.”

This is mainly pressure from the teacher’s union. They want to work less and get paid the same. Hence, the media starts aping any numbers that support their narrative.
