An interesting twist on the usual 'immunity debt' nonsense, from the "Walking pneumonia cases are rising among kids" article in The Washington Post:

"... from March to October this year, the CDC found that the largest increase in cases was among children age 2 to 4, whose emergency visits related to the bacteria went up from 1 to 7.2 percent."

Among children age 2 to 4, you say? Tell us more...

"'Like with most things, we are blaming the pandemic,' Shane said. 'During that period of isolation, we had a whole cohort of children who were not exposed.'"

Incredible -- so apparently 2 and 3-year-olds have immunity debt from lockdowns that they weren't alive for 🙃
