    There’s lot we don’t understand about Covid in kids. We shouldn't trivialize observed or possible risks. Schools have been closed; many kids deliberately sheltered from infection. In coaxing schools to open it’s imprudent to argue Covid is harmless, or milder in kids than flu 3/3

    THREAD: Covid caused 338,000 diagnosed infections in kids. 86 tragically died, thousands more hospitalized. To compare burden to flu, an estimated 11.3 million kids got symptomatic flu in 2018-19, 477 died. If Covid became as widespread in kids as flu, outcomes could be grim. 1/3

    However, the drug spending impact of the buy-America EO is expected to be small cuz Medicare/Medicaid don't directly buy drugs, and Navarro said nothing about making hospitals and pharmacies meet purchase requirements. Still, impact unclear till we see the order.

    Navarro called the buy-American executive order "pure Trump." It bolsters US manufacturing and lets Trump blame foreign countries for our problems. But drug lobbyists say it's not so Trumpian in one key way: It will raise drug prices.
