The Delta wave has been ongoing all summer, infecting millions of people so far. How many children have died from covid over the summer?
Data from England, where Delta variant deaths are tracked, shows that during the period under study, only 8 people under the age of 50 died from it.
EDIT, as I'm being rate-limited:
Even with the differences you note, the fact that England, with a population of 55 million, had only 8 deaths of those under the age of 50 from the Delta variant, after a month of Delta variant propagation in the country, definitively shows it's not a significant risk to children.
- jasonlaramburu 5y agoEngland is really more comparable to a single large US state, or collection of states. The delta wave is moving through different US states at different times. Mississippi is one of the least vaccinated states, far lower % than England. They are also likely not yet at the peak of their wave.
