At least 97,000 children tested positive for the coronavirus during the last two weeks of July, according to aof state-level data by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital Association. The increase represents a 40% surge in the nation's cumulative total of child cases.
The report comes as schools across the country grapple with when and how to reopen safely — with those decisions becoming increasingly politicized. President Trump has attempted to
To this day he’s still saying these lies about COVID and children!
Hmmm a surge in July? Not june, may, April, March just before school starts a surge in kids yet the cdc has always said..... so tired of the bullshit reporting on covid19. Political
He's immune to intelligence.
KassieMcClung Fear monger campaign rolling out right before schools open, eh?
Has the virus mutated so that it impacts children more quickly & more deadly than before?
Keep in mind that those 97k children were most likely home and social distancing. Now imagine the number of children who will be infected if F2F school happens.
Why do the media keep going to his press briefings when there r no drs, scientist there to talk. Media need to stop going, stop spreading his misinfo on the virus. There r to many lives at stack for the BS coming from him. I only listen to smart ppl, not dumb ass.
Trump doesn't care about his own family, why would he care about others, he's the worst president EVER EXISTED, GET HIM GONE, AMERICA IS TIRED OF THIS FAKE PRESIDENT AND DUMB MAN THAT THINKS HE KNOWS SOMETHING, BUT TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING.
mehdirhasan No comment. Would it even matter at this point
Once a lier......
It’s almost as if trump doesn’t listen to the scientist who.... know what the fuck they’re talking about.
shewrote And how many got sick ?
Trump’s a pathological liar.
Oh shut up....CDC are liars
Trump straight up lies/bull$hits, they are more than false statements.
TrumpDerangementSyndrome
'Almost say definitely ' ....lol
Such blown out of context! NPR IS A JOKE! people pay for this 💩!
All trump knows is lying
mehdirhasan The word “falsely” lately became a synonym for “lie” and “lying” They are not
ImpotusAmericanus is an imbecile 😳
BetsyDeVosED and the SenateGOP fail
mehdirhasan Criminal negligence...
hahahahaha realDonaldTrump vp WhiteHouse HHHAHAHAHAAHAHH
SenHughesOffice I once trusted NPR more than any other news channels. I listened to your boring dialogs to get the facts. But damn. You sold out.
Call him out. His purposeful, malicious lies are killing people.
LondonBreed
How Many Tests were False Positive or False Negative? Who did the Testing?How Many Boy's-v-Girl's? Did they come from Parent(s) who have been Doing Domestic Terrorism? Were the Children at these Domestic Terrorist Riots? SO MANY QUESTIONS to See Who's False in Their Reporting!!!
MaraLiasson Please please please call it a lie.
Fake News or Fake Tests😈‼️
DrPanMD And if Northern California is giving people 1200 bucks for positive Covid cases the numbers are going to go up again
mehdirhasan Children are not immune from ANY disease
peterframpton As a teacher, I do not accept the chance that any child should die because they are being sent back to school. The number is staggering while school is out. I’ve how sickness spreads around a classroom. We do not even know what long term effects it will have on children.
mehdirhasan Its almost like our president is full of shit
He says all this while keeping his protected! He should expose his children and grandchildren to the same elements he is willing to expose ours. Not listening to that fool! Ever!!!
mehdirhasan This might have something to do with parents sending their kids to summer camps
mehdirhasan Expect the unexpected, warped veneer thin misrepresentations, pseudo scientific ramblings, incoherent illogical missteps, and blatant lies. Wake up folks.
Y’all had to make a headline to prove him wrong.
It is as if some people need this to be worse than it is
Are those fake children?
There is no almost with immunity. It’s like being pregnant. You either are or are not immune or pregnant.
Can the village idiot really lead us out of this pandemic?
One child getting the infection is too many. This President doesn’t care about your child or mine. He only cares about himself. We are just a number to him.
President Trump is unfit for any leadership position. He speaks lightly without foundation, integrity or respect towards others. It’s worrisome and dangerous.
KassieMcClung Instead of saying 'falsely claiming' just say 'lied' because 'lied' is truthful and the most accurate thing to write.
peterframpton Can’t like this “told you so “ on IQ45
Some people in this thread would be the first ones to say abortion is murder but the audacity to protect kids who are actually breathing & alive they’re like “nah, send them to school, they’ll get over it.” The hypocrisy is astounding.
You’re allowed to say “lie”
Since February, you make it sound like School opens and Poof 97,000 children have it
He is getting information from experts blame them not him.
So teachers are not going to Costco, Target, super markets, restaurants, visiting friends, going to the beach, parties etc.?
TFW the president is OK with 7,000 children being hospitalized from a preventable disease 😡
You will never report this news will you NPR?
Almost only counts in horseshoes & hand grenades ..
AbigailJHess What about survival rate?
So he lied.. Made false claims. Gave the wrong information and not questioned? My kids hold me more accountable than the media does to any politician.
Can't we say he lied?
Let's agree that our president is arrogant & obnoxious ignoramus who ignores science & facts, relying only on his huge gut filled with junk food. Trump has been peddling fake news & medical advice that resulted in more deaths in US than in any other country on the planet.
Trump Lies.
NPR gaslighting and manipulation for the DNC accelerates as the election looms Don't look to them for any bad news on Democrat respponsibilities for COVID mishandling though NPR is a shameless leftist organization DefundNPR
”almost” is now a number that can be validated?
97,000 out of 65 million is minute.
The shit stew that is our POTUS
For context there are 74 MILLION children under the age of 18 in the US.
Children are humans - therefore susceptible to Covid. Even if not as negatively impacted physically by the disease, they can spread it very effectively .... which puts all around at greater risk.
Republicans were willing to sacrifice 20 children after the Sandy Hook shooting to protect the 2nd amendment (which was not under any threat). What makes you rhink they won't sacrifice thousands more to protect thier money (which IS under a very real threat)?
Absolutely amazing to have a President who spews nonsense but more outrageously, a part of the population who actually believes that garbage.
defundNPR
NO ONE should be listening to trump.
Dr. Trump has endangered many with his gut feeling medical announcements. His license will be revoked Nov. 3.
800,000 kids disappear in the US each year due to human trafficking and pedophiles. Please do a story exposing real crimes against humanity. Thanks
Positive is not SICK
What sucks is I fund you and yet you never have anything positive to report about our president. Prove me wrong. How many positive reports have you posted about Trump in 2020?
Contracting the virus is Completely different than symptoms of the virus and how they present. Fact: Over 90% of children are asymptomatic. The 10% infected with symptoms prove mild flu-like symptoms! StopFearMongering
Being almost immune is not a thing.
How convenient for your narrative
Does cheeto boy make anything other than false claims
Please, and I can't stress this enough, do NOT listen to the dotard
covid deaths under the age of 24: 270 pneumonia deaths under the age of 24: 548 influenza deaths under the age of 24: 307 Democrat Lockdown is a CovidHoax
I hope a reporter has the guts to ask him a question about his lie and follow up with this data!
Hey , how about you quit soft pedaling trumps lies like the rest of MSM? trump lied. “President Trump lies in an interview last week...” America is getting sick of the media kissing up to trump with the politically correct soft reporting
realDonaldTrump said something false. In other news, water is wet.
When did NPR start being run by innumerate children?
Can we expose your child to it to test your theory? Just asking.
Interesting how this data appears AFTER Trump’s comments.....🤔
Replace 'falsely claiming' with lying.
'Almost definitely.' The idiot brother of 'Absolutely maybe'.
Testing positive and getting sick are different things. Give us some actual data
How very convenient.
The hospitalization rate for children does remain low, at 2% -- or nearly 7,000 hospitalizations for severe COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began.
NPR claiming false but probably doesn’t have the real data like the president does.. when will media learn?
Of course missing from this headline is that some states are counting people aged 24 as children
So diamond and silk... not a valid source of medical advice?
