So it's clear that BA.3.2 preferentially infects children, something we have never seen before in a SARS-CoV-2 variant.
Why?
The question's baffled me, but after a suggestion from Darren Martin, I think I have an explanation that makes sense.

There's not much BA.3.2 in the US yet, but the numbers are still pretty striking. Ages 0-18 are more than 5 times as common in BA.3.2 sequences as in non-BA.3.2 sequences. USA, 2026, Feb 1 to present (Mar 23), non-travel non-BA.3.2, 139/1172 (11.9%) BA.3.2 26/41 (63.4%)

@BrainFlavours @starshipTARDIS I passed up some of these because the thrift store wanted like 12 dollars each!

@starshipTARDIS Water. Steel water bottles from thrift stores in my area. I dishwasher them on the sanitizer cycle, fill w/boiled city water or boiled filtered water (I'm in Central Florida so the water is meh on the fringe). After they cool, I close & put date on them w/masking tape label.

Also, remember hearing about the US's strategic N95 stockpile?
Do you also remember when free N95s very briefly appeared in neglected little piles near the front of pharmacies?
That was the stockpile. That was it. They didn't even try dipping into it during the "2020 shortage".

2020 N95 "shortage" debunking thread. It never happened.
The only real supply bottleneck was hospital administrators who did not actually want to distribute their PPE supply to the workers or encourage their use, creating desperation among the workers themselves.

@daijumao @MaskedHottiee That observation is still consistent with the explanation that I wrote. Let me tell you the full history:

@Monogrammaton @MaskedHottiee I don’t know where you lived in 2020, but I lived in NY, and it was hell. Nurses & doctors were rewearing the same mask for weeks on end, garbage bags for gowns, dishwashing gloves, and cut up soda bottles & pool noodles for face shields, bc they ran out of the real stuff. 😬
English
@MaskedHottiee Correct. I typed you an answer but it's too long so I made it a thread.
