#3 Any children actually in hospital who haven't already got pre-existing conditions or found that out?

For the under 80s it's irrelevant as a risk.

#5 For the last 84 days, new cases per Worldometer average 42k, or 3.56 million new cases. In that same period, the number of "serious/critical' runs between 16k and 18k - virtually flat.

A little less than 1,000 per day (average) expire. I didn't track the 'recovered', which I suppose is those discharged from the hospital.

So I conclude that of the new cases each day, about 1-2,000 got into 'serious/critical' and about 1,000 of the serious/critical' expire, and the other thousand or so - recover.

Or - of the 42,000 new cases per day, around 40,000 do not go to the hospital. That's 95%, which is consistent with other reports from more learned folks.

#6 Infection 'Hot Spots' centered on the protest sites, ya reckon?

CHAD is in my box of secondary evidence. So far, there isn't a mass exodus from a plague ward.

#7 Check along the border areas of Texas , large numbers colonizers with various disease coming across. Time of the twin fences with mine fields inbetween.
