All right, we'll keep an eye on it, Anderson.

Thank you very much.

I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to the prime time

COVID Command Center.

And here's why we're doing it.

This is the fact there's never been a more dangerous time

for children in this pandemic than right now.

The days of saying, well, at least the kids

aren't getting this, those days are over.

Kids make up more than one in four new weekly cases in America,

one in four.

And now the whole country is heading back to school.

I got kids just starting in middle school, high school,

and college.

And I live in a pretty righty place.

And still, parents are on edge and worried

about kids getting sick, especially the ones who can't be

vaccinated, and they're right to feel that way.

More than 251,000 kid infections just in the past week,

according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

It's the largest number since the pandemic began.

Cases are accelerating.
