The variant is attacking younger folks. The Covid patients in hospitals are getting younger. It is not a stretch and common sense we may begin to see younger folks dying albeit they will have a better chance of surviving it and making it out of the hospitals. Still, I wouldn't want to see a niece, nephew, son or daughter being hospitalized, would you?
For one, it was posted overnight and likely most people haven’t seen it yet. Wait for the first toilet break at work to start seeing responses...
...but even in the article posted it points out that there’s likely significant comorbidities, but it hasn’t been yet released what other illnesses the child may have been suffering from.

How many 16-year-olds have contracted cancer from the other 16-year-old sitting beside them?
I don't give a shit if you lock yourself in a room and smoke your brains out but I will not allow you to stand next to me and do so same way I would not allow you to talk to me without a mask on or at a 10 foot distance, actually in your case make it a football field distance.
I called but they hung up on me.
From your link:
It only says cause more severe symptoms, it doesnt say anything about a higher death rate
Right, so the new variant only becomes more worrying if we suddenly have 4 or 5 U-20 deaths per year
Dr. Phil, do you recommend we follow the Brazillian model and let it run rampant or lockdown, mask up and let it die down as vaccinations ramp up?
Hurry, I have to let Doug and Justin know of your recommendation.
Just a question, regardless of possibly any underlying condition, would he have died In April 2021 had he not contracted COVID?
If you want to play that game, we can look at all other illnesses people die from and go oh had they not got the flu. Oh had they not got cancer. Had they not got food born illness. Life is not without risk, some people have better genetics and immune response than others. Don't worry about the people who have issues with vaccines though, those are only outliers.
Its like this article where the title is the kid is super healthy and has an underlying neurological problem that makes him more prone to covid being fatal.
‘Super Healthy’ College Student Dies of Rare Covid-19 Complications (Published 2020)
Chad Dorrill, a 19-year-old at Appalachian State, recovered from flulike symptoms but then developed neurological problems.
"Tonia Maxcy, a family friend who taught Chad Dorrill in high school, said doctors told the family that they suspected he had a previously undetected case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks nerves. Many viruses can trigger the syndrome, and there have been cases linked to Covid-19."
THe virus is obviously deadly...to those who have weak immunity and weak lungs. don't act like every 16 year old who's going to get it will die from it...some may even have no symptoms after getting it...the most at risk here are still the elderly and those with underlying conditions...I'm not one to complain what this government is doing to fight this problem...it's their job...I oppose the lockdown but I will abide by it...do you really think 10% of the young population will die from this Virus?
Irrelevant question since we are already doing all those things, and I have never argued otherwise.
You're getting defensive because you have no proof that the new variant is suddenly killing more kids under 20, therefore you are needlessly fear-mongering with this thread
