In New England, where #OmicronVariant prevalence was <50% through 18-Dec per CDC, some states had ⬇️ in child/teen #COVID19 ADIRs, with rates still high due to previous #DeltaVariant surge.

Very high ⬆️ in DC may be artefactual.

7/17

Florida jumped from lowest to highest ADIR of #COVID19 in kids in the Southeast last week. @CDCgov reports high prevalences of #OmicronVariant in the Southeast, so expect widening and accelerating ⬆️ across multiple states.
covkidproject.org/hot-spots
26-DEC-2021 UPDATE
8/17

New cases of #COVID19 in kids are ⬆️ in Illinois and Ohio. Declines in ADIR in Michigan, Minnesota, and Indiana last week indicate #OmicronVariant hasn't hit kids hard yet in those states. But ADIRs still high due to #DeltaVariant

SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
1/9

Please be advised that the @CDCgov covid tracker trend data on #COVID19 by age in Texas are WRONG. CDC draws case data from their case line data file, and TX has reported age on only 3% of total cases.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
2/9

CDC graphic is inadequately footnoted and does not disclose the very low case count behind their trend chart.

Their chart displays no new cases in TX in past 4 months!

@CDCgov should remove this highly inaccurate graphic from their website.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
3/9

COVKID Project estimates child/teen cases in TX every week using total cases from TX dashboard, and % child/teen from Harris County. Thank you @hcphtx for doing the job your state health dept has neglected! 🙏🏽
