Oh jesus christ that's such a retarded emotional manipulation. No party is to blame for this, unless dems are willing to take their share of blame for not mandating masks and flu shots for all the vulnerable and immunocompromised kids and elderly both with comordibidies who die from the flu every year.
Nobody gave a flying shit about most transmissible respiratory illnesses before this, even ones like the flu which are MORE dangerous to kids. If somebody is immunocompromised, it is THEIR responsibility, or their parents' if they're a child, to protect themselves. Society and everyone else does not ordinarily completely re-orient our lives and sacrifice nearly anything economically or socially in response to some god damn stupid cold. This is so transparently political and cynical and the fake concern for kids is disgusting.
The vast, vast majority of people who die, of any age group, have at least 4 co-morbidities. The cdc director herself said this. That means kids too. So yes, if a kid with pediatric leukemia dies of covid, that's counted as a "child dying from covid", as if healthy little timmy is getting it and dying. That's not happening.
Move on with life, this disease is not that dangerous for the vast vast vast majority of people, and it's also not ever going away, and it's not evil republican's fault.
