The U.S. faces another peak in child hospitalizations as the delta variant hits communities hesitant to get vaccinated.
Yes. Those will be the only places this happens in.
It happened fast: As of Wednesday, U.S. hospitals were tending to an average of more than 1,200 children a day, twice the number from the end of July and four times from the start of July.
The HHS data show that pediatric hospitalizations when adjusted for population are highest in Alabama, Florida, Delaware, Louisiana and Oklahoma; in all but Delaware, full vaccination rates are lower than the national rate.
National about 52% total.

Finally, PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A South Florida pediatrician is worried about the continued rise in COVID-19 cases among children, especially now that the new school year is underway.

wptv.com/coronavirus/co…
17%!!!!! Palm Beach Pediatrics has three locations and all are seeing an increase of COVID cases among children. Just this past week, they were at a 17% positivity rate among their patients -- testing only the children who have symptoms. But things weren't like this before.
2/
2/
Since October their offices had a low positivity rate of 5% to 6%. It even got to a 2% positivity rate in June 2021. But in the middle of July is when everything changed. There were more diagnoses of COVID-19 in children just within their medical offices.
3/
3/
"The delta variant that was hitting the area in July is something that is more contagious and causing more children to be symptomatic," said Fox-Levine. "We have seen an increase with all of the kids going to camp over the summer and then restart school."
4/
4/
"It is the perfect storm. We had the increase in rates just as the kids were starting to go back to school. 2-3 weeks before school started, our office started calculating the %age increase. We were seeing some days upwards of 40% +ty rate from sick kids that we were testing."
I thought it was nuclear war.
Missed the 13th month marker of this thread the other day. How is this possible that we are doing worse now than last summer? We want kids to go to school to learn, yet our leaders don't demonstrate that they can.
At this point, school is the least educational choice.

98% of K-12 schools in the US are now open for in-person instruction, leading to a spread of COVID-19 infections in schools and surrounding communities. Over 94% of the country is experiencing “high” levels of transmission, according to CDC and cases among children have exploded.
More than 1.2 million infections among children ages 0 to 17 have been reported in the US since July 22 when schools began reopening for the fall semester. This is roughly 20 percent of the 5,292,837 child cases since the pandemic began, according to data from the AAP.
