CoviDOOM News? Or Propaganda?

As usual, the "news" leads with CoviDOOM!!! numbers.

COVID-19 cases among children 18 and younger are on the rise in Milwaukee County, medical experts say, with 10% of hospitalizations being tied to children. 

Between July 28 and Aug. 3, there were 102 hospitalizations in the county — ten of those patients were children, ...

Relevant info such as co-morbidities?  Absent from the story.

But there's MORE!!

All the way at the bottom of the Scary Scary Story, we find meaningful statistics!

Seven-day average of daily cases: 1,101 (up 1,002 cases from one month ago)
Seven-day average of daily deaths: 2 (up 1 death from one month ago)

One can have all the "cases" you want, but it's deaths that count in the big picture.  With a 1,000X increase in average daily cases, we have only a doubling of deaths.  That's called a 'significant disparity.'

By the way, the State's chart of Covid cases in children simply does not support the DOOM DOOM!! rhetoric you see in the "news" story.  It's roughly comparable to last summer's case-load but nowhere NEAR the numbers of last November.

If you think that the timing of this propaganda is suspicious, you're right.
