It's not just about death. Children are accounting for 15% of all newly reported COVID-19 in the US. Nearly 94,000 child cases of COVID-19 were recorded last week, a 31% increase over the roughly 72,000 cases reported a week earlier. In the week before then, there were 39,000 new child cases. Pediatric hospitals are filling up, which means means if a child was involved in a serious car accident or had a life threatening injury, their may not be room for them at the hospital. And depending on where you like, there may not be room at any nearby hospitals either.
Even for mild cases that don't require hospitalization, that still means 2 weeks of being quarantined. 2 weeks of missing school, not seeing friends or family, not being able to leave the house... Even being in contact with an infected person could mean two weeks of missed school, unless both parties are masked.
But I am curious, if 178 children dying isn't a concern, what number of deaths would be?
It is truly scary to read your post, because there are many people like you out there.
Serious question for you. If we reduced the speed limit to 15 mph, it would save the lives of far more than 178 children. Are you for reducing the speed limit to 15 mph?
Didn't realize it had to be 49.9 million kids before we could care about their wellbeing. "It's only 178 kids!", how pro-life of you.
There have been way more than 178 kids who have committed suicide or overdosed because of the Covidiots and their restrictions. Where is your empathy for them? Any remorse for being complicit in making those outcomes happen?
Only 178 unnecessary child deaths? That’s a relief, I mean, those aren’t your kids so what do you care? That’s sarcasm, btw.
Even if kids (or anyone) doesn’t die, people never bring up the other long term effects of covid. They just say, well “X number of people survived so no big deal.†They usually lie about that number too. They don’t mention the kids and young people who survive but have chronic lung damage, cardiac inflammation, systemic inflammation, loss of senses, “long covidâ€, neurological deficits, clotting disorders, and a host of other problems.

Did you care that much about suicide before this? Are you a strong republican? Republicans like cutting mental health funding. Did you tell them to think about the children then? Yeah I doubt it.
Bullying is the #1 cause of adolescent suicide, and always has been, where is your crusade. Oh wait. There is no "way more." Overdose? Really? That's NFL wide receiver reaching.
I obviously have empathy for children, which is why I want them to be in the safest environment possible. Your empathy meanwhile lies more with scoring political points.

That's a laugh. All you and your kind have done since the pandemic started is use it to score political points. You don't give a damn about kids. You want them to wear snot-soaked rags all day long because you're scared of getting sick.
I am convinced that most people DON'T read anything except Facebook posts and the covers of magazines while standing in the checkout line, and they only listen to news blurbs. "COVID deaths reach unprecedented levels in [fill-in-the-state]!! News at 11."
And others do not understand percentages and/or they care more about the one-in-10,000 kids dying than they do about the 99% that are having their education and mental health severely and negatively affected. And many of those people also think that those of us who care more about the 99% than the 1% are just some kind of human monsters -- and that does not even mention them screaming about people "wanting to kill Granny". Well, they are welcome to their opinions, but I'm not buying it for even one single millisecond.
That kids are getting the delta variant id complete fake news.
One band director and a 13 year old were both vaccinated and both got Covid and died.
If these damn vaccines actually worked, MAYBE there wouldn't be as much resistance against them.
