COVID-19 cases in children are up 84 percent in the past week, a new study from the American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP] reported on Wednesday, with 72,000 new instances of the virus reported as of July 29, up from 39,000 cases reported the week prior.

AAP said it had teamed up with Children’s Hospitals of America to help collect and share data about pediatric cases of the virus, which have been only 14.3 percent of the total cumulative cases, the study says. That share rose to 19 percent for the week ending July 29. Since the pandemic began, 4.2 million children have tested positive for the virus....

The study does note that “it appears that severe illness due to COVID-19 is uncommon among children.”...

...Among the 23 states and New York City reviewed by AAP, children’s hospitalizations made up 1.3 – 3.5 percent of .....

Phony numbers, phony virus hysteria. We have been attacked by communist China.

No need to shut down schools. No need to mask children. No need to vaccinate children.

The bio-fascists are getting desperate.

Yes. Since they simply tested positive, without being sick, is this a function of more testing or higher cycles? Did they use the test that was discredited by the CDC? They are trying desperately to scare us into accepting the vaccine, even children. Most people cannot accept the evil behind this. I suspect some degree of Chinese/AI program planning. Wonder what the next step is.

I agree, and let's add a degree of Jim Jones-cultist insanity brought to us by political flacks and the media.

NYS defines probables, asymptomatics, and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases...

Does the rest of the US...?

Not only by China, but by the legions of unvaccinated and unvetted “immigrants”, who are actually invaders, swarming across our Mexican border on an ever-increasing numbers daily, then at the behest of and fully aided by the Harris/Biden regime, are being scattered widely across the length and breadth of our country. Get those superspreaders out there and especially directed at the “red” states, and any Republican strongholds in “purple” or “blue” states.

The hysteria that accompanies this new settlement is somewhat misplaced, if it is all attributed to COVID-19 Wuhan virus, or any of its supposed variants. Most of the new infections are scarcely more than a moderate to severe common cold, an affliction that we have had with us always.

And this epidemic of the sniffles can be controlled with a few simple means of prophylaxis, none of which include masks of any kind. Contact surfaces being cleaned at frequent intervals, simple hand washing, and the ingestion of zinc supplement with an appropriate zinc ionophore, on a daily basis, stops the replication of the coronavirus particles perfectly well, thank you, and are among the daily practices everybody should be engaged in.

The same “team” that made kids wear masks in Ohio.
Nothing but doctors union groups.
Not a scientist in the bunch.
F!ck them.

Last I read, kids were at very low risk of getting it, and even lower chances of having complications.

A fake “study” just in time to try and justify keeping schools from opening.

Agree! They’re just throwing numbers out there to fuel the plandemic flames. Never would have thought this possible. Soon we will all be forced to wear designer masks like cartoon and bank robber characters so civility and politeness will die too.

In the beginning, when this was new, the case count actually mattered. It hasn’t mattered to me since April of 2020. What matters is the number of deaths. All you need to know about covid you can learn by looking at Sweden’s numbers.

It’s over.

This story stirred a memory from over a year ago. Does anybody remember about all those virus test kits that had to be thrown out because they apparently already had a positive test result in them?
