Did anyone tell Trump's scientist expert the Pillow Guy?

They will probably all recover just like with the flu.

😢

buh buh buh uncle donny says kids are immune and don’t get sick

polidan_sharon Yeah but thats only because you tested them. If you didnt test there wouldnt be anyone with the virus. If all logic was governed by DonaldthedickTrump. I hope none of these kids suffer and don't spread it too wide. Obviously quarantine is on the menu.

wendymcmm 😢😢

It’s almost as if more kids were being tested around that time to participate in sports and camps

Who could have ever guessed that Dr. Donald Trump was wrong about them being “immune?”

Until about July, most people were in some version of quarantine, but especially stayed away from medical appointments, especially parents taking in children. Dr. offices now more open, testing becoming more available. Rates being now observed.

Open the schools!

Stay away from granny kid,s

I’m beginning to think the claim that we’re a Christian nation was just 🐂💩 propaganda to control the masses. You’ll know them by their fruits.

Good collectiveimmunitybythestrongest

So what? Your upper airway is full of bacteria, doesn't mean you are 'infected'.

DawdHaque There is more testing of this age group due to sports and returning to school. It’s hard to say if the number actually increased.

I wonder why nd how?

They got tested. Period.

So. Much. Fear.

Good. Let nature take its course.

Horrible. We can do Better.

That's silly talk. Our President said that kids are immune. No matter what they or their parents do they're immune

There mom's were probably out protesting

Haha 😂 I love seeing the leftist propaganda you spew

I once tested a cucumber for covid and the test came back positive

They weren’t tested before because they feel fine, they’re being tested now for summer camps, and to prepare for back to school.

Great! More and more needed!

I got a BADDDDDD FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE....... we have ZERO IDEA what the long term effects of COVID__19 is on the body.... Not good at all

wonder why

Gee Ya think? Interesting how the 'spike' is just in time to justify the newest panic - We can't open the schools! It's total bullshit and everyone knows it

FU marketwatch

So. Much. Fear.

COVID testing is like doing a high jump. Depending on where they set the bar, you can be either negative or positive. There is no hard and fast pass. If you want more positive results, lower the bar.

How many deaths? How many hospitalizations? Testing positive is suspect of number that actually have illness.

Fishy. Just in time for reopening the schools.

We have not had any stats on children getting coronavirus and now your telling me all of a sudden there are 338 thousand Why were there no numbers posted before

And they didn’t even know. Incredible

And none hospitalized 😎

I can only imagine why they’re testing positive at a much higher rate lately.
