The weekly average just for the US last time I checked was over 1,000 deaths per day. I don’t even have to calculate age distribution to know that thousands of grandparents in a childcare role have been among those deaths.
Yeah the last time I checked happened to be today, mainly because I only look when I see obviously bad policy around it. I rounded way down because there’s no imaginable scenario where fewer than thousands of grandparents performing childcare have died, and it’s such an absurd challenge that giving it the most favorable interpretation of the facts still shows it’s absurd.
