Give that man a cigar!

Kids have almost no risk from COVID.
They use tests in hospitals that very clearly separate COVID and Flu based deaths.
And once again-- the nonsense that COVID tests could not tell the difference between Covid and the Flu has been debunked multiple times as pure nonsense.
There are well over 400 deaths of children from Covid in the U.S.
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-Focus-on-Ages-0-18-Yea/nr4s-juj3
148 deaths for ages 0 to 5
338 deaths for ages 5 to 18.
A number that is accelerating quickly over the past eight weeks with Delta.
I'm not suggesting, nor have I ever suggested that tests "Cannot tell the difference".
However, there are quite a few, shall we call them "incentives" in reporting stuff as COVID.
Still, an extremely few children are at risk of COVID, which is the point you're trying to avoid here.
Sadly your definition of "at risk" only includes if a child is dead. You don't care a damn about the many child hospitalizations (noting that pediatric ICUs are full in many states), nor do you care about Long Covid. To you -- if the kid ain't dead then they ain't at risk. Very Sad.
400/669,205 = .000597
vs:
Leading causes of death
Children aged 1-4 years
- Accidents (unintentional injuries)
- Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
- Cancer
Children aged 5-9 years
- Accidents (unintentional injuries)
- Cancer
- Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
Children aged 10-14 years
- Accidents (unintentional injuries)
- Intentional self-harm (suicide)
- Cancer
Feel free to see if that 400 cases is even in the same galaxy as other leading causes of childhood mortality.

Child hospitalizations isn't a risk factor - its an occurrence. If a child is sick and goes to the doctor, we don't count "Doctor visits". And we shouldn't.
And Long Covid is a made up horseshit thing you and the main stream media have thrown out there to create panic because you know you can't use the death count (because its so low).
I don't doubt there are lingering symptoms from getting sick from COVID, just as much as there are lingering symptoms from pneumonia and even a bad flu.
And once again back actcha.
Life is about risk, dopey. if you can't take that, then hide in your closet with your cats.
You can mitigate risk, you cannot eliminate it. I don't want children to get hurt or killed (obviously). But its going to happen. And we can't restrict people from living their lives and the 100s of MILLIONS of other kids from having a developmentally sound life because you're worried about a sniffle that some kids are going to get and a very tiny minuscule amount won't survive. Those kids should take individual precautions - as we have ALWAYS done.
Its safer for children to stay home then to ride a bus going to school
Each year, about 17,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with school buses
