Ms Coffman said her hospital treated six abuse cases last week, including one that resulted in the death of a preschooler. The child was the second preschooler to die at the hospital in two weeks due to suspected abuse related injuries.

One of the children died of head trauma and the other was pronounced dead in the hospital's ER after suffering apparent trauma.

Ms Coffman said similar increases occurred during the 2008 recession.

"We saw that during the recession in the United States, where we had an increased number of physical abuse cases during the recession," she said. "In our institution, we had an increase in the number of deaths for child abuse during the recession."

A statement from UNICEF echoed Ms Coffman's concern that greater isolation from school and peers would lead to a greater number of child abuse cases.

"...hundreds of millions of children around the world will likely face increasing threats to their safety and wellbeing–including mistreatment, gender-based violence, exploitation, social exclusion and separation from caregivers—because of actions taken to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic."

Exactly. Gain herd immunity, stop the transmission. Think chickenpox.

The fallacy is that before we can gain herd immunity, we need a large majority of people to be immune and the only way we think that happens right now is through infection.  Catch-22.

Let the young and/or health get sick, and keep the old and sickly QUARANTINED.
