Children Can Get Severe COVID-19, CDC Says — Especially Black And Hispanic Children

found that one out of three was admitted to the ICU — similar to the rate among adults. Almost 1 in 5 of those were infants younger than 3 months. The most common symptoms included fever and chills, inability to eat, nausea and vomiting.

Researchers don't fully understand why some racial groups are hospitalized at higher rates than others. But the CDC's findings are consistent with other studies, the authors of the report said, citingfrom the Baltimore-District of Columbia region that found that Hispanics had more COVID-19 infections than other groups.

Underlying medical conditions might have contributed to the children's hospitalization, researchers wrote, noting that Hispanic and Black children are more likely to suffer from conditions like obesity.

What amazes me, is that your frontline doctors, promote the use of hydroxychloroquine to fight the virus! But a non practicing doctor Fauchi, calls it dangerous. Trump was wise and listened to those in the know. That is the reason for not contracting the virus.

Here we go again some people are just so special

meanwhile the numbers at CDC say different

Cleavon_MD has a thread of children we have lost. Heartbreaking. 💔

tmprowell Disparities for kids are a real issue in so many ways - 13 million kids are being impacted in food insecurity-and over 670 000 cases of child abuse/neglect - we need urgent solutions for our children.

Wait, I heard they were immune?

AndrewResist15 Covid is racist!!! Probs transphobic too.

I say again ... sending kids back to school would be a helluva way to discover that numbers were lower for children because schools closed so quickly.

Just add respirator to our back to school supply list.

This is incentive for Trump and co. They don't care.

GeoRebekah So Hispanic is a race color now? Sweet. What do I win (other than covid)?

Keep asking questions they are manipating the data. I work in a pediatric ICU this is NOT true. In my hospital the COVID 'unit' is housed in the ICU but not covered by ICU doctors. The vast majority are there for observation only. Only 1 ICU admit since this started!

GeoRebekah Which is why the GOP doesn’t care. Children’s lives don’t matter, brown and black children’s lives matter even less. Didn’t we learn that with school shootings?

I work in the ICU of a children's hospital. We've had ONE COVID admission. Do not believe this lie! Zero MIS-C cases (1 suspected.) Most of the kids weren't even sick enough to be admitted, only observation, including several babies less than 1 month old. I want your data!

Of COURSE the CDC has informed the Trump administration of this information months ago and Stephen Miller is counting on this as part of his “final solution”.

Is this is why Trump wants children back in school? Trump is a notorious racist who keeps talking about his 'good genes'. Is Trump trying to turn Covid-19 into his own personal eugenics progrom? . Donald Trump Loves to Talk About His 'Good Genes'

socialistdogmom Fuck...

GeoRebekah Trump/GOP allowed/wanted the virus to wash over America: no more preexisting conditions; it's saving Social Security; it's mostly killing Blacks, Reds & Browns; who every gets it sorry, who ever survives great; it's like we're killing two million birds with one stone.

What is the total number of youth admitted to hospital?

No deaths? Diabetes takes out more kids than C-19. But NPR fear fear fear....

Poor people get sick more easily?

576 kids out of at least 4 million cases. Seems important to put this in the headline

“Especially Black and Hispanic?” Do you mean the incidence is higher because of SES/cultural differences? Because there’s a large difference in saying someone is more susceptible due to biology rather than social factors.

How many children in this country have died from Covid?

And you wonder why conservatives are still spreading the idea that this is fake and or no worse than the flu.

This just in...COVID IS RACIST!

Mexicans don't ware mask or most of them dont

That’s because kids don’t get this sh!t unless they’re already sick.

If COVID-19 isn't rampant why has FEDERAL prisons 'STOPPED' inmates from using phones & computers? COMMONSENSE THINKING Is it a difference in the BRICK & MORTOR because school kids will 'START' the same process that has been a failure in the prisons..DAMN

So 'children of color' are receiving better health care?

As a parent I know there are myriad benefits to having children present in school, but I worry we’re taking unknown risks with our children’s health by rushing back. It just feels unwise.

It’s because they’re exposed to more people who work with people; because the amount of a virus that one is exposed to matters, contrary to what the experts have said.

Whites be healthy.

I was just on the CDC website. Do you know how many people under age 14 have died from covid-19 in the WHOLE of the USA since Feb 1st? Ready? 45

I think it is important for ppl to know that children are not immune - they can catch COVID-19 and they can get really sick or die from symptoms. As much as we all want to move on with our lives, the risk is out there and we should actively take steps to keep each other safe.

What was the sample size? Where’s the citation

PaHouseDems Did they ask about housing situations? Crowded, multi generation housing combined w essential worker status would add to disparities.

Legal or illegal?

Hispanics have social gathers, white kids get put in front of games, tv, computer, ipad... Hispanics have a better parenting system then white people why? Causs iPad and games take over cause kids can't be controlled without them

Hey -- they VOTE at Churches and Schools -- don't they? Coincidence? Yeah right....

On September 1st we leverage our collective labor to get the financial and educational support we deserve! Do not go to work, do not give in to the demands of those who would see you die just so they can hoard more wealth

Naturally, the virus is racist.

I will be at home with my children when school starts because I don't want to be part of these statistics. I understand some folks say they can't do it, it ain't gone be easy, but I'm working only overnights and weekends to make it happen and learning how to do autism therapy!

Anyone know what channel that Betsy DeVos public apology is on? I want to check that out.

Jfc

How many deaths, total? And how many hospitalizations per 1,000 children who test positive?

You're the Chyna virus !!!

NPR always reports Democrat platform . Don’t believe their bias reports

THIS is why Trump wants kids back in schools. Especially public schools.

PeytonWXYZ I still wonder how the racial disparities are driven by poverty and access to medical care

You would of thought “ they “ was going out their way to infect minorities

HEY — Where is your NON STOP NEWS COVERAGE OF BILLY CLINTON BEING A CONFIRMED PEDOPHILE and CHILD ABUSER JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING Jesusiscoming BillClintonsAPedo

COVID-19 is a racist white supramacist, just like everything else 😆

Is it because they're fatter?

This makes it seem like ethnicity is the cause. Do better NPR

How bad is COVID-19 where your child goes to college? Here's where to lookLooking at the numbers can give parents a sense of how the county is doing in containing the coronavirus and help them make a difficult decision. The stats are irrelevant. We have wide spread transmission of the virus throughout the country. All colleges should be 100% online until we get this shi-t under control nationally. If your kid’s school isn’t a hotspot now, good chance it will be within the next two months. Does it matter? It changes every day.
