perhaps....
I read the "study"...lot's of "estimating" to arrive at the conclusion in a study that appears obsessed more with race and equity than anything else...
"To
estimate numbers of children orphaned by death of a parent" we........
Our outcomes were consequences of COVID-19–associated death of parents or coresiding grandparents and included orphanhood, loss of primary caregivers, and loss of primary or secondary caregivers (Fig 1). We defined orphanhood as death of one or both parents.6 Primary caregivers have been described as parents or grandparents responsible for most basic needs and care and secondary caregivers as grandparents providing some basic needs or care.18,30,31 We defined loss of primary caregivers as the sum of orphanhood, death of custodial grandparents providing parental care for their grandchildren in the absence of parents,32 or death of coresiding grandparents (living with grandchild[ren] and child’s parents) responsible for most basic needs (eg, food, housing, clothing, and day care).18 We operationalized loss of secondary caregivers as death of grandparents providing housing but not most basic needs.
so basically if anyone in a child's life dies either "with" covid or "from" covid it leaves them "orphaned" and according to you "
without a caretaker"
good job!
