EXTREMELY HIGH PERCENT POSITIVE RATE FOR KIDS 17 AND UNDER IN PALM BEACH COUNTY
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — As parents address the school board during a live stream of the pivotal meeting that will lead to a vote on distance learning Wednesday night, several parents are claiming that kids just don’t contract COVID-19.
That’s wrong.
The latest numbers from the Florida Department of Health show that children 17 and under in Palm Beach County have a 33.5 percent positivity rate for COVID. To put it another way, out of every 100 kids tested for COVID-19 in Palm Beach County, an alarming 33 or 34 are positive.
Palm Beach County trails only Miami-Dade County (39.7 percent), Pinellas County (40.3 percent) and Manatee County when it comes to pediatric percent positivity of other large (based on population) counties in Florida.
