More than a 1,000 children have died from the virus. In addition, about 7.8 million children have caught COVID since the pandemic started, and so those are just the numbers and so, while fewer than 83,000 kids have been hospitalized with the virus we have kids sick with COVID more than we ever have before so that\u2019s a real thing and those are real numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The View\u2019s Sunny Hostin says even though Justice Sotomayor was wrong on the facts, she was still right on the facts \u201cThat\u2019s a real thing and those are real numbers.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7XWbtFGfFj\">pic.twitter.com\/7XWbtFGfFj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Caleb Howe (@CalebHowe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CalebHowe\/status\/1480607195410706435?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hostin went on to say that she wasn\u2019t ready to adopt the CDC\u2019s new, relaxed guidance reducing the recommended isolation time from ten days to five and no longer requiring a negative test.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe that, I think that after five days if you\u2019re not testing you can certainly still be infectious and you can certainly still spread the virus the other people, and I have to wonder, Whoopi, I mean, is it a business decision that was made? Is it that there\u2019s a staff shortage? Is it that there\u2019s a shortage of essential workers? And they just need people to get back to work because there are so many unvaccinated people? \u2026 I think people just need to get with the program and get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to say, you know, about Sotomayor \u2014 Justice Sotomayor, Sonia Sotomayor \u2014 I think she made a mistake in her numbers, she\u2019s not the first Supreme Court justice to make a mistake nor will she be the last, it happens,\u201d cohost <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/he-was-sexually-harassing-himself-cnns-navarro-defends-toobin-offers-unique-take-on-him-masturbating-during-zoom-call\/\">Ana Navarro<\/a> added, noting that the number that had really stood out to her was one given by Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. \u201cHe said there were 140,000 school age children at that time who have lost at least one parent to COVID, there are children who are in terrible conditions right now, going through grief because of what COVID has cost our children and the way to get to herd immunity is for all of us to get vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is fighting Joe Biden\u2019s vaccine mandate in federal court.&nbsp; Join us in this fight by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lp.dailywire.com\/osha-petition\/\">signing our petition<\/a>&nbsp;to OSHA, telling them that you will not comply with this mandate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor claimed last week that 100,000 children were in \u201cserious condition\u201d with COVID-19 \u2014 the real number is closer to 5000 \u2014 and the hosts of ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d shrugged it off: \u201cIt happens.\u201d Sotomayor made the erroneous statement during oral arguments on President Joe Biden\u2019s vaccine mandates \u2014 both for &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":93,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1205142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/93"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1205142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1205142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1205142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1205142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
