We've done the delta variant for a little longer than most. If you are talking about the same one, it doesn't kill otherwise healthy children in any volume at all. The worst nightmare is if it did. The vaccines work pretty well aainst it. Our mrtality rate is less than 1/10th that of previous variants.

Kids in Louisiana Make Up Almost 20 Percent of New COVID Cases as Hospitals at Capacity
BY AATIF SULLEYMAN ON 8/3/21

The COVID Delta variant is hospitalizing more children than ever before in one Louisiana hospital, an infectious disease specialist has warned amid a surge in cases in the state.

According to the state's Department of Health, 11,109 new COVID cases have been recorded in Louisiana since Friday, July 30. Children accounted for more than 2,000 of them, WWL-TV reported citing the department. That amounts to around 18 percent of new cases.

"I am as worried about our children today as I have ever been," Dr. Mark Kline, physician-in-chief at Children's Hospital New Orleans (CHNOLA) said at a press conference on Monday.

"This virus, the Delta variant of COVID, is every infectious disease specialist's and epidemiologist's worst nightmare."
