There is just one person in hospital in the entirety of Victoria aged under 20 due to Covid. One. But Mary & policy makers are irreparably damaging millions of our kids, missing school & friends, to protect 90 yos who refuse to be vaccinated. Why won’t anyone think of our kids?

Mary should be on play school reading fairy tales at story time.

Qn - if I call entire pop’n pre vaccine as being “background pop’n” and if pre-vax 1% of hospital admissions then were under 16 then if that now skewing 2 yng because low vax rate so that they are say 33% admissions - ok 2 assume background pop’n wouldve been 100x that if no vax?

Thank you Marie Louise. Your advocacy is appreciated

Agreed!!

But your graph shows that hospitalisations for children is really low. And we can’t lockdown forever.

Hi @MarylouiseMcla1. I have noticed that in current VIC cases, the two age groups growing fastest are 0-9 & 30-39. I suspect these are families & that kids are possible main spreaders, school to their homes. What do you think?

@leighsales the expert

Sure. But they can’t vote. And that’s a huge issue for this lot.

Since when does highest caseload necessarily =highest hospitalisation? young people have always made up highest case load ,yet never the most hospitalised or deaths .In fact ,that's why vaccines were given to older ppl first . Now under 12s are getting it -but not the sickest
