I feel like a lot of people in this thread have a hard time distinguishing between personal, individual risk and societal risk.
On one hand, it's true that individual children have very low risk. Even with delta, the risk of hospitalization among children is no higher than 2%, and may be much, much lower.
On the other hand, if you have enough people being infected simultaneously, you can have all of the children's hospitals/pediatric beds in a state fill up.
