Dear God, pillory that woman for worrying about the fact that with each strain of COVID an increasing number of children are being infected. Yes, her statement does constitute an overstatement--even bordering on hyperbole--but its lack of specificity (i.e.; Justice Sotomayer did not say that 100,000 children are currently in hospital due to COVID, but that "...100,000 children are in serious condition...") makes all these condemnations equally hyperbolic.
As a parent and grandparent it concerns me more than a bit that COVID has increasingly extended its reach into the youngest in our population. Pediatric admissions for COVID keep rising with each new variant and we have no end in sight, nor do we know if a COVID infection will produce consequences/complications as a child ages.
So, yes, when it comes to our youngest, to our dear children and grandchildren, I would much prefer that those in power exhibit an abundance of caution and concern, and not a blasé attitude.
