Indonesia. I’m glad we straightened that out.
It would be good to know the US number. I think Florida still has 2 pediatric deaths and 6 deaths under age 25, maybe it’s higher now. I checked it a couple of weeks ago.
People seem to be hysterical about any pediatric deaths, and I too find it extremely sad and upsetting, I can’t fathom what that is like for the family or what that poor child went through, but every year we lose children to flu illness and most of America is clueless, because it doesn’t make headlines. I think when considering children it’s worthwhile to compare to flu to put things in perspective.
I looked up 2018–2019 flu season for a friend who was hysterical about a covid 19 death of an 11 year old in Florida, here is what I found, these are total country US numbers: 136 children died from flu with a confirmed flu test. That’s all flus. But, they say it might be as high as 480.
That’s with kids in school of course and some immunity in the population, but no distancing, except for some school closures in select cities if they had any that flu season.
Hospitalizations should be looked at also, I don’t have that number handy, because suffering matters, not just deaths, and it’s not clear long term effects.
