Following up on yesterday's post about the CDC reporting that 349 children, ages 0-17, having died from COVID-19 in the United States of America, I thought you might be curious how that pans out closer to home, here in my state of Indiana. To date, there have been a total of NINE reported COVID-19 deaths in people 19 and under (feel free to explore the dataset for … [Read more...] about 9 Indiana Children Have Died From COVID-19
CDC: 349 Children Have Died from COVID-19 in the U.S.A.
For argument's sake because I don't feel like going there tonight, let's just assume that the CDC's data on COVID-19 related deaths are even remotely accurate.
