      2 new studies show hospitalization rates of kids in 2 CA hospitals overestimated by at least 40% Why? "incidental diagnosis" eg, child at hosp for fracture, gets routine covid test, is (+) but asymptomatic. Incorrectly counted as hospitalized *for* covidhttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/05/study-number-of-kids-hospitalized-for-covid-is-overcounted.html …

          So at once, even less severe consequences in children than assumed from already the “very rare” baseline, but likely more asymptotic but just enough for PCR positive tests from exposure? Will read the papers.

          Wait a minute, you're saying "eek"? You seriously didn't know that with a few exceptions (Chicago being one), hospital data for adults & kids includes incidental positives? Team Reality has tweeted about this for many months

          FYI - Throughout the pandemic, 25% of "COVID Patients" were pregnant woman. That was a pretty big clue. @kerpen I think you were the first to post about that. Do you have the tweet?

          And people are riding their kids in for COVID vaccines after helping them locked down for a year and a half. Nbd.
