Childrens Hospital New Orleans is reporting a 'staggering number' of COVID cases in children.

No link yet since I'm watching this on the local news.

Current cases range from mild to life-threatening. To indicate the incredible spike in cases, on July 19th, Childrens Hospital New Orleans reported a 'minor uptick' in child cases. Now it's 'staggering.'

when adults die, particularly brown ones, but children dying could wake up the nialistic base. Could be GOPs "Katrina". They don't care about the kids actually, just the political repercussions.

To comprehend a child’s life or death. They called those kids crisis actors and manikins F sake. Only if it happens to them personally. And even then they think it is gawds will.
