Kids aren't dying, Josh
And the ones that do are sadly those who already have very bad maladies/illnesses.
My kid is staying home.
Kids are dying.
Healthy kids are dying, not just the sick ones.
Not as many as elders, which is an easy position to take when it is not your kid.

But a year and a half into the pandemic, there’s still much that researchers and doctors don’t know about the consequences of the disease for kids. Among the unknowns: How often do kids develop lingering symptoms, or long COVID-19? Why do some healthy children develop serious, run-amok inflammation weeks after recovering from COVID-19? For some kids, that complication comes even more out of the blue: They weren’t even aware they were infected.
Now the delta variant is causing yet more uncertainty. Studies primarily involving adults show that it’s making people sicker than earlier versions of the coronavirus (SN: 7/30/21). Will it hit kids harder too?
Researchers are beginning to gather the data needed to answer those questions, though there is a dearth of data so far on kids and delta. The emerging picture suggests that while the virus remains no big deal for many children, it is a serious problem for others.
And you keep forgetting that death isn't the only problem, as pointed out in the quote.
We don't know how many kids are getting Long Covid, Kid. You don't, I don't, and the CDC don't.
But yes, kids are dying. And more will die, some because of attitudes like yours, even if not behaviors like yours.
