German physician-scientists reported Monday that not a single healthy child between the ages of 5 and 18 died of Covid in Germany in the first 15 months of the epidemic.
Not one.
Even including children and adolescents with preexisting conditions, only six in that age range died, the researchers found.
Germany is Europe’s largest country, with more than 80 million people, including about 10 million school-age children and adolescents.
Serious illness was also extremely rare. The odds that a healthy child aged 5-11 would require intensive care for Covid were about 1 in 50,000, the researchers found. For older and younger children, the odds were somewhat higher, about 1 in 8,000.
Another eight infants and toddlers died, including five with preexisting conditions. In all, 14 Germans under 18 died of Covid, about one per month. About 1.5 million German children or adolescents were infected with Sars-Cov-2 between March 2020 and May 2021, the researchers found.
“Overall, the SARS-CoV-2-associated burden of a severe disease course or death in children and adolescents is low,” the researchers reported.
“This seems particularly the case for 5-11-year-old children without comorbidities.”
The researchers reported their findings in an 18-page paper published to the medrxiv preprint server on Monday.

So what you are saying is that there should be mask mandates in schools to protect teachers and staff and immunocomprimised students.
Thanks for nothing, dimwit. We already knew that.
Criminy...

No, as the Democrat politician in Colorado said (Jared), the government should not be telling people what to wear, whether that is a Grateful Dead t-shirt or a face mask which isn't N-95 and won't stop virus shedding anyhow.

Who cares what a "Democrat politician inColorado" has to say about public health policy, dummy? He's a politician, fer cripes sake.
You really need to start getting your medical information from epidemiologists and public health experts. Wake up already.

When will johnforbes learn to follow the science?

Yes, let's follow the science.

Thanks for nothing, dimwit. We already knew that.
Criminy, johnny, follow the science to where it leads. Not just as far as your partisan dishonesty conveniently leads you.
Lives are at stake and you are killing people with your dishonesty.

Although I don't have Einstein's wild hair or propensity for drab attire, my mind does function with the same razor-sharp focus on salient detail.
Clown's bald pate is, of course, ideal for slipping his pizza-stained sweatshirt over.
On balance (and we remain balanced), I must note the following:
“Overall, the SARS-CoV-2-associated burden of a severe disease course or death in children and adolescents is low,” the researchers reported.
“This seems particularly the case for 5-11-year-old children without comorbidities.”

Thanks for nothing, dimwit.

As Fauci himself said before 3/31/20, mask wearing causes increased facial area touching, which can increase disease risk.
Also, the virus goes right through anything but an N-95.

I already straightened you out on that one, dimwit, and you know it.
But, true, how can anyone ever expect johnforbes to remain straight for any length of time? Silly me.

Prior to March 31, 2020, the head of the WHO, our Surgeon General, and also Lord Fauci said that mask wearing causes increased facial area touching (a good study supported that), which can increase disease risk.
Also, the virus goes right through anything but an N-95.
Then, it became an article of leftist faith that any mask -- including an old paint-stained t-shirt -- was wonderful protection from a virus.
Clowntoker believes the chain link fence around his yard can keep out a mosquito too.

Clowntoker's chain link fence may keep out a pit bull, but not a mosquito.

No, it doesn't. You made it up.
The virus may be EXPELLED by force through a lesser mask. But three-layer masks and masks used by hospital staff are better than nothing and every healthcare worker in the world knows it.

That's a flat out lie, johnny. It's Rightist Trumpian dimwits who think a bandana is sufficient, not Democrats.
Democrats have been telling you for more than a year that bandana-type 'masks' are not acceptable.
You really need to tell your dimwitted friends, johnny. The rest of us got it months ago.
