The point of the 105 dead children was to show children can be severely affected and don't have magic immunity. 500K children have been diagnosed with COVID, with varying symptom levels. We have 200,000 dead overall in the USA, so it's not just a matter of 105 dead children justifying lockdown, it's all those other dead people you seem to have forgotten about.

Also FYI, you can't hug your family member anymore once they're dead.

They don't, but they are far more susceptible to Measles. In 2018 140,000 children died from measles -- a disease we actually have a well known vaccine that's been proven safe!

Well we've yet to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that ditzy parents can ignore/avoid. Stupidity isn't an excuse for more stupidity.

What’s the median age of those that have sadly passed and the percentage with comorbidities?

Do you really mean "sadly" when trying to make the point that old people or people with pre-existing conditions are acceptable deaths?

Well that would be an extremely unpleasant attempt at putting words in somebody's mouth that makes me wonder whether you are actually engaging honestly here.

Did you honestly not know the answer? What was your point?
