SANTA FE – New Mexico reported the death of its youngest COVID-19 victim so far – a preteen boy – as it set a number of troubling records Tuesday, including new daily highs in cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
The youngster’s identity and age weren’t disclosed because of health privacy rules. But state officials described him as a male 12 or younger from Bernalillo County.
He had been hospitalized and had an underlying health condition of some kind.
The state reported 28 fatalities related to the virus Tuesday – the most in a single day so far. The other deaths were adults ranging in age from their 30s to their 90s.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham described the boy’s death as the first pediatric COVID-19 fatality in New Mexico.
“Please understand: This is an emergency,” she tweeted.
The statewide death toll related to the coronavirus now stands at 1,264 residents, according to the Department of Health. A forecast by Los Alamos National Laboratory estimates New Mexico will reach 2,100 virus deaths within six weeks.
Among Tuesday’s record-setting totals:
• The 28 deaths reported are the most in a day, about 22% higher than the previous record of 23, set Nov. 5.
• Testing detected 2,112 new cases of the disease, about 21% higher than the previous record for a day, set Thursday last week.
• More than 750 virus patients are now in New Mexico hospitals, the most ever reported to the public, though the state recently changed its method of recording hospitalizations. It now gets them directly from the hospitals rather than relying on case investigations and contact tracing.
Human Services Secretary David Scrase said Tuesday state officials have been expecting an increase in coronavirus-related deaths, after a previous surge in hospitalizations.

"Related to" is pretty vague. There are lots of diseases "related to" COVID-19.
The gaslighting continues.
“He had been hospitalized and had an underlying health condition of some kind.”
In other words he didn’t die of Covid-19.
Elon Musk got tested four times and it resulted on two positives and two negatives.
Some folks are absolutely nuts out there. Daughter in Albuquerque has 5 kids, playing in their own very large backyard and neighbor yelled at them for not wearing masks. A three year old without a mask on. The horrors.
Here you go. Scroll down to the graph that says "Weekly number of deaths (from all causes). It goes back to Janurary 2017.

Yep, 2x0=0
This midget Beotch Wuhan Luhan locked down the OUTSIDE again, no golf... and since were in a high rate county, with winter coming, we won’t see golf again until next MARCH!! FUWL!
Karen please stop push this hoax. The Plandemic is over. It’s all political now. I don’t believe any of these 28 deaths were attributed to only COVID. We are being lied to all the time now. Believe NOTHING except in God and Trump.
This is not related to elections.
Their goal is initially to destroy the middle class; ultimately to put most of us into mass graves and the survivors into chains.
Probably because that is exactly what they are doing.
Reported cases for influenza cases are down 80% to 90% in this season. This is way beyond any previous seasonal variation ever seen. It appears quite clear that any illness showing flu-like symptoms (aches, fever, diarrhea, bronchial inflammation) is presumed to be COVID-19.
And the 40-cycle PCR test used to "confirm" a COVID-19 diagnosis seems to have an incredible false-positive rate. (See Elon Musk for details)
People who take multiple tests with positive results get counted as multiple cases, further inflating the statistics.
You are right.
The shingles vaccine (first dose) put me in bed for a week last year with flu like symptoms. So schedule that time just in case before you get it.
The second dose was very small side effect.
