Listen, I get it.  We are ALL sick of talking about COVID.  Years of our lives have been dominated by this topic.  Fatigue as set in EVERYWHERE, including how we seem to manage it in terms of the population.

However, whenever I see articles on certain news sites that "kids do fine with Omicron," or some other variation of the title, I can't help but speak up.  Everyone likes to use data points to prove a point, and I continue to be exhausted by how many times our kids are thrown into the middle of it.

Today's episode focuses on what we know as of today involving the Omicron variant and kids.  The data used is from the AAP website and their data collect up to January 6, 2022.  This is not me making up the numbers.  It is me sharing the data and my thoughts on it.

Now, now of this is presented to SCARE you.  It is simply there for you to make an educated decision for you and your family.

Take a listen and let me know what you think!

Also of note, the data presented in this podcast and article are up to January 6 numbers.  As I look at the numbers of the next week prior to this posting, we added 981,488 COVID positive cases in kids!  Insane numbers.
