Parents are pleading with adults to get vaccinated in order to protect young children who aren’t eligible to get the vaccine.Since the onset of the pandemic, children in the U.S. have faced multiple challenges and hardships. Tragically, recent data reveals that a staggering number of children have been faced with the most heartbreaking reality: the loss of a caregiver to COVID-19.
The data is provisional, and the CDC confirmed to ABC News that it plans to release official data next month.published in early April, which estimated approximately 40,000 children in the U.S. had lost a parent to COVID-19. Pamela Addison, a 36-year-old New Jersey teacher, and mother to two young children, lost her husband, Martin, to COVID-19 in the early months of the pandemic.
“There are substantially elevated death rates among adults in their 50s, a non-trivial fraction of whom still have children under 18,” Verdery said."Each death can leave multiple children behind.”According to the data, children of color have been significantly affected by the loss of a caregiver, something that reflects a disparity built on an existing inequality, even prior to the onset of the pandemic, according to Smith-Greenway.
The high death toll could have been cut or even avoided if US followed a correct path in containing the virus. However, knowledge, science and intellectualism have given way to ignorance, politics and stupidity. So the tragedy is also a man-made misfortune.
