Covid-19 is a leading cause of death in children and young people in the USA

Because young people don't die often, the requirement to be a "leading cause" isn't very high. According to the article Covid ranks 8th in causes of death with about 1,300 deaths in the 0-19 age range last year.

Not saying it isn't an issue, that's still 1,300 dead kids, but the headline seems (to me, at least) a bit sensationalized.

The real qualifier is a bit further down the article,

> ...the leading cause of death from infectious disease.

Hacker News and it's frothing audience of leftists with yet another propaganda piece. Should do a blanket ban of the word 'covid' on here and stick to the tech stuff, yeah?
