The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated that three out of every four children have been infected with COVID-19, giving us yet another reference point to show that the panicked liberals who imposed restrictions on children were being cruelly overcautious.
There are roughly 73 million children in the United States. Using the CDC’s estimate, that would mean roughly 54,750,000 children have had COVID in the last two years. According to CDC data, there have been 1,017 children who died from COVID or were presumed to have had COVID. The CDC’s hospitalization tracker, which covers 10% of the population, has recorded 8,053 child hospitalizations with COVID. Extrapolated out, that would total 80,530 hospitalizations.
