More children were shot in Chicago than died of Covid in 2021.

@markansas probably she's saying more children, ie, below 18 folks, died from gun shots than children died due to covid, Mr Genius. Kids hardly died coz of covid, not even in India where Delta was dominant

@SW-User And, Mr genius, she is wrong...if you look further...I have provided the real numbers in another comment on this post.

@SW-User 12,300 kids have died from covid.

That isn't "not that many" or "hardly any kids"


Also 140,000 have experienced being orphaned because their caregivers/parents died of Covid.

@JaggedLittlePill I assumed Markansas interpreted it wrongly.

0.4% is quite a small number. And it didn't happen exactly coz of the severity of the diseases itself but due to lack of infra structure. This happened in india and in other developing countries mostly.

Here in India, that's why kids were given least preferences for vaccination. It didn't even start until this year, despite govt vaccinated most of the billion adult population efficiently before Jan 1, 2022.

@SW-User 12,300 is not a small number.

@SW-User also when kids get sick they can get their parents and family members sick. Whether they die or not they could end up with long term health issues. Death isn't the only terrible outcome of Covid.

@markansas abc? lol, might as well cite some bathroom graffiti...

@markansas numbers are over inflated. Total bullshit
