Any new stats on kids and Long Haul COVID19?
Its looking possible that Dh and I will be fully vaccinated by the end of this month. Our family has been very careful because DH’s immunocompromised due to medication he is taking and I have asthma. Once we are vaccinated we started to think about how this affects our carefully-constructed risk analysis arguments. I’ve long suspected Dh has adhd and this past year has brought about some crazy behavior on his part. He’s climbing the walls to get out and do things. He needed to be reminded that our kids won’t be vaccinated for a while yet and are still at risk of infection. The discussion led to our real fear- any of our kids getting Long Haul COVID19. We argued back and forth about the likelihood of any of them getting it and how much we should still protect them. We came to the agreement that in the absence of real statistics about the numbers of children with Long Haul COVID19, as a family we would avoid anything indoors that could be a super-spreader event. This still rules out movie theaters, restaurants, and other places where distancing is not widely observed or where there’s the potential for crowding.
All this would be much easier if we had some solid, dependable numbers about kids with Long Haul Covid. Dh asked me to ask the BBB if any of you have heard anything. Any updates you can give would be greatly appreciated!
