I've been using this website to see if we (Alabama) make it to 10 covid deaths for children aged 0-17. It's Table 1 under "Sex and Age" for CDC provisional death counts. If the number is <10, then it will just show blank. But I can add up the other counts by age group (15724), and subtract from AL total deaths (15733) and come up with 9 deaths for the 0-17 age group. That's for the whole pandemic. For people who don't follow the numbers, just showing people this table for their state is usually shocking to them. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm
Correction of earlier comment, which I have deleted:
I don't see Mississippi on your list of 22 states. MSDH lists 9 children 0-17 in the COVID deaths: 1 less than a year old, 2 aged 1-5, 1 aged 6-10, and 5 aged 11-17. At least 5 of those are MIS-C, however, and the child may or may not have actually had COVID. The local media are strangely silent about these deaths, not giving details, not pushing the story.
Our state health officer (Dobbs) is all over the idea of keeping kids masked and requiring them to be vaccinated. He has also been involved in a spot of exaggeration, claiming 12 children in ICU with COVID at the peak of the summer surge, with 10 of those being on life support. The actual numbers were 7 in ICU and 2 on life support. He blamed the children's hospital for giving him bad data when he was called on it.
Can someone please explain the math to me behind the 1 in 1.8mm chance of kids dying from Covid comment? because 73 million/600 is 121,667. Also, I’d like to see the math behind the lightning comment. thanks.
What are the causes of death for the kids in the non-covid 99%? This might help Dr. Walensky to set her priorities straight.
How much do we really trust blue state numbers?
What is the data source?

Correction, the 1 in 1.7M comment? @JustinHart Thanks!

There's a big recent collapse in hospitalizations in Florida and Texas.
