Since COVID hit about two hundred deaths have been recorded as Covid deaths in this demographic. When the head of the CDC was asked if any of these deaths were the result of other illnesses these kids may have had at the time she could not answer. Now we want all our kids to go back to school with masks, if they go back to school at all. We are destroying a generation of kids for the sake of political correctness. Unfortunately, instead of following the science and looking at the statistics the virus has been politicized and this is resulting in people having no trust in the DCD and reluctance to get vaccinated. What a shame.
You'll want to check that.

According to the WaPo Covid page, in the US daily cases are back to where they were in April and hospitalizations are very close to that (though Florida's are much higher). Deaths are still down but they lag cases by two to three weeks and have been growing in the last few days.

The low death numbers look promising at the moment but it might be better to wait a week or two before getting too excited.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
