Children now account for one in four new COVID cases. How can you help your kids not get sick?

More than 250,000 cases of children diagnosed with Covid were reported last week, the highest on record.

Children now account for one in four new Covid cases.

250,000 cases a week probably isn’t the highest number we’ll see. Doctors and scientists agree: the riskiest place for kids is… school. Credit for that goes to schools that don’t require masks, parents who haven’t been vaccinated, and governors who would sacrifice every living relative for the Republican nomination in 2024.

Dr. Fauci: “The best way to protect the children is to bring the level of virus circulation in the community down.” You can’t convince anyone to take the vaccine — if you’ve tried to have that conversation, you know it’s a waste of time. More vaccinations now can only be accomplished by government requirements for government workers. And by business. It turns out that almost everyone has a price. So far a fine of $200 a month for non-compliance looks like a good motivator. But slow. Too slow to make a difference this fall, I fear.

Will there be a vaccine for 5-to-12-year-old kids? Possibly by Halloween. Again, I don’t see anti-vaxxers pushing their kids to the front of the line.

So what’s a parent to do?

Don’t bring your kids to crowded restaurants. For that matter, why don’t you avoid them?

Boost their immune systems.

CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health: “We know that people who are immune compromised are more likely to contract Covid and to get severely ill. We don’t know the degree to which improving your immunity would ward off Covid in some way. That might make common sense, but we don’t have the data to say that that’s the case. However, from a common sense perspective, we should be doing everything we can to improve health anyway.”

So… supplements. Professionals have endorsed the supplements I suggest here. But as every doctor and manufacturer will advise you: “Always consult with a physician or healthcare professional prior to giving any dietary supplement to children 12 and under.”

I’m partial to MaryRuth’s products because of their purity. Organic Ingredients, Non-GMO, No Gelatin, Pectin Based, Vegan, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Gluten & Wheat Free, Soy Free, Nightshade Free. Celiac Friendly, Kid Friendly. When MaryRuth adds sugar, it’s real sugar.

All these supplements are gummies because no kid ever begged for capsules or pills.

Vitamin D3, B12 Gummies. Vitamin D3 1000 IU & 250 mcg Vitamin B12
“Vitamin D3 aids the body in absorbing calcium, facilitating immune functions, and keeps bones strong and healthy. It also helps to facilitate the life cycle of cells, supporting the proteins that modulate cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. B12 supports healthy neurofunction, DNA synthesis and red cell production. It is involved in homocysteine metabolism, which is important for heart health, and plays an essential role in cellular metabolism.”

Elderberry Gummies with Vitamin C, Propolis & Echinacea
Bee Propolis, sometimes affectionately known as “bee glue”, is a resinous material produced by honey bees that acts as a sealant for unwanted spaces in a hive. Honeybees also use it to line the inside of nest cavities, repair honeycomb, and close up the entry point of the hive. Without Propolis, the hives could be susceptible to viruses and bacteria. Honey bees create Propolis by carefully blending together plant resin, tree sap, and beeswax.

How does it benefit humans? The use of Propolis as a wellness regimen for people dates back centuries. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians were aware of its healing properties and made extensive use of it as a form of medicine. Because of its naturally high antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, Propolis has been used to support the body’s natural defenses wwith upper respiratory tract infections, skin infections, sore throats and/or other mouth infections, and assist in the healing of minor wounds.
