Nevermind. False positive.

I used the swab made to test the test.

Have three negatives now.

Month long gaps in this post. Doesn't make a sense.

Please provide any proof of the symptomatic rate in children going up.

CDC reports that for the week of July 31 the rate of hospitalization with Covid for children 5 to 17 was 0.5 per 100,000,

No proof, but my nurse SIL said she's noticing more youngsters coming in.

FWIW, My 10 year tested positive and had a bunch of symptoms. It then traveled through his friends which also got sick with all the standard symptoms, which then transmitted to the vaccinated parents, with symptoms.

Edit: none were hospitalized or anything, just down for a week with fever, congestion, cough, etc

I'm definitely in the Covid is weak sauce if you take care of yourself and don't have pre-existing conditions outside your control (born with/genetic). I got Covid in Nov 2020, no big deal. I did get the J&J shot because my job is putting pressure on us and my wife doesn't work with the two young girls at home. I wouldn't have gotten any vaccine if it wasn't for that, but I weighed the options and if I'd jump in front of a train to protect my girls, I'll take the shot.

With that being said, what IS the truth about kids getting delta and their risk? We just got over hand/foot/mouth with the 3 year old (thank goodness the 6 month old didn't get it...can you believe the 3 year old actually listened and didn't touch her sister until the "bumpies" went away?!). One day of nearly 104 which children's Motrin took care of and she was good.

Like most parents, I read the news and see Covid is mostly hurting the unhealthy or elderly/pre-existing population and weigh my options and think of it statistically. But throw your kids in and you start to think a little irrationally.

So using that data and the CDC surveillance data for cases as well, here is what the hospitalization likelihood looks like per confirmed case for the 2 youngest age groups.

I also threw on the flu hospital rates for similar age ranges from 2017-2018. (i made the assumption that for covid we are detecting roughly 1/4 of the cases so I multiplied to flu hospitalization rate by 4 to make it a fair comparison)

my takeaway from this is that first, the early data likely skews high due to poor case surveillance last summer, and second that it looks like Delta is likely more dangerous to kids than previous versions, maybe as much as 50-100% more dangerous, but a 100% increase in a tiny number is still a small number.

My 12 year old daughter had it back in March. Had 1 day of fever and a runny nose, then was back playing soccer a couple days later. Kids are resilient.

My 10 year old tested positive today. Day 2 of symptoms. Sore throat, stuffy, 101-102 fever.

Wife, 12 yo daughter and myself are vaccinated.

Seems to be weathering it we lol so far. I'd put the severity between strep and the flu so farrow her.

For what it's worth our pediatrician said they are seeing a big uptick in COVID coming through the office.

That doesn't mean hospitalization per se but symptomatic enough to warrant a trip to the doc.

For our part it looked like strep to us.

So your contention here is that as the pandemic got worse, the virus became less deadly, but delta is now peaking higher than at any other point?

Seems like poor data to me. Actual hospitalization rates per 100k of <18 year olds is lower than it was during the winter peak.

Not really. It's still incredibly rare for serious cases in elementary aged kids but that doesn't make for good stories.


Notable symptoms doesn't mean hospitalization or serious cases.

My daughter has noticeable symptoms but not a serious case at this point (don't want to jinx it).

Our pediatrician said they went from seeing a slower stream of cases to a pretty big increase over the last 2 weeks or so. Nobody hospitalized but a lot more cases.
