I bet you a million gazillion dollars that sodas, breakfast cereals, French fries, and sugars/corn syrup have magnitudes more effect on childhood diabetes than COVID.

Lets put $1000 on it.

Certain viruses might promote autoimmunity.​
A significant number of viruses have been associated with type 1 diabetes, including enteroviruses such as Coxsackievirus B (CVB) (4), but also rotavirus (5,6), mumps virus (7), and cytomegalovirus (8). Rubella virus has been suggested to cause type 1 diabetes, but so far only congenital rubella syndrome has conclusively been associated with the disease (9–11).​

You're missing the mark on this one, as much as I'd like to agree with you.

The evidence is that COVID may make children more susceptible to diabetes, which makes the foods you listed even more dangerous. It's not an either/or issue but an if/then.

I bet diet plays more of a role than COVID.

Is this why our fearless leader here in Florida is telling people not to get tested?

Florida sets new 1-day record for COVID-19 cases as hospitalizations of young children soar in US

I don’t have any inside baseball here, so I’m just spitballing: perhaps the scare tactics are driving huge waves of asymptotic people to testing centers? Perhaps it’s to reserve the best service for those who are actually sick?

The bigger question is why are we still talking about case counts? I thought we expected viruses to get more transmissible and less lethal. UF recently released a projection that 80% of Floridians will have had COVID by the time the omicron wave is finished.

Here’s the reported case counts for Florida…scary!!

Here’s the reported death counts.

The data doesn’t line up with the hysterics.

You can’t go by that, because they don’t report deaths in the normal way, so that number is almost always 0 on a daily basis. It’s all done intentionally.

The state added 162 deaths since the previous report. This brings the total statewide number of pandemic deaths to 62,504.

Most of these occurred more than a week ago and were recorded by the state in the past seven days. It can take officials two weeks or more to confirm COVID-related deaths, and the holidays may delay reporting.

The Florida Department of Health announced in June that it would no longer release daily COVID-19 data. Instead, it now releases one report every Friday — but it continues to withhold information that previously was publicly available.

Also we have so many snowbirds down here in the winter but if they die they aren’t counted as anything.

As of June 4, the state no longer reports non-resident vaccinations, coronavirus cases and fatalities. The state has repeatedly declined requests to provide non-resident data to the Tampa Bay Times.

Each of those gray bars in the cases graph represent a week. There are 17+ of them since the sharp rise in case counts. Let’s be generous and assume it takes 3 weeks to record a COVID death. Are they 14 weeks behind? Is that how I should think about it?

You’ve lost the plot, it’s not as simple as you are trying to make it out to be. I also don’t think you understand the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

The article you posted mentioned nothing about Type1 diabetes. It just said diabetes.

COVID-19 Substantially Increases Diabetes Risk in Kids, CDC Says

They acknowledged that a "percentage" of the new diabetes cases likely occurred in kids who were pre-diabetic to begin with when they were infected with COVID, but said that would not explain all the cases. They also said it was still not fully clear how much of the diabetes was caused by the virus versus the treatment for the virus, and whether these cases were permanent or not.

I wonder why they have "percentage" in quotes there? Could that percentage be 50%? 80%? 95%? And the remainder is those that developed diabetes from COVID?

You mean the million tests no one cared about until the last three weeks of the year and then they suddenly needed them real bad?
And the secret expired garbage tests that the gubmint can magically recertify and make them critically useful again?
Imagine waiting on your government to solve your problems.

Or, it’s one way to prevent the numbers from appearing higher than they really are 🤔
