I have a theory. My wife and I had COVID recently and we both tested positive. My child also had a fever for about a day but otherwise was symptom free. Given that we were quarantined and not exposed to anyone else for about a week before my child's fever, it's hard to imagine that it was anything except for COVID. However, most testing sites that you can just sign up for on your own only test 18+, so getting her tested would be a PITA. Most likely we'd have to take them to the doctor and maybe they would order a test, but more likely, they'd just say go home and get some rest, call us if it gets worse. And even if I got my child tested, what would I gain from it? At best it would tell me what I already know. Given that most cases in children are mild (I wouldn't have suspected COVID nor bothered to have taken my child's temp if I hadn't tested positive myself), I imagine it's only the children who doctors suspect have it that are getting tested in Florida, for the most part. And among that group, the positive rate is gonna be high.
