DUH.... States sound alarm over Covid-19 outbreaks among school kids
(CNN) - As school districts across the country reopen, some state officials are voicing concern about the vulnerability of children as the highly contagious coronavirus Delta variant takes aim at the unvaccinated.
Covid-19 cases are surging among children as the school year begins -- many in districts without mask mandates -- and the pandemic continues to force quarantines and other disruptions.
The latest weekly count of new pediatric cases -- 243,373 -- is about a 240% increase since July, the American Academy of Pediatrics said Monday.
The academy, in a joint report with the Children's Hospital Association, said severe cases among children are uncommon but more study is needed on the "longer-term impacts of the pandemic on children, including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children."
