Overall rate: 10,484 cases per 100,000 children in the population

Giant spike nationwide since last week. Biggest surges in the Northeast and South.

Out of 49 states, NYC, DC, PR and GU, there have been 7,890,756 or 18.4% of all cases. Out of 24 states and NYC, there have been 29,220 child hospitalizations or 2.7% of total. Out of 46 states, NYC, PR and GU, there have been 735 cumulative child deaths or .10% of total.

Per state, cases range from 7.8% to 25.4%. 11 states reported >15k cases per 100k children! Cases are likely much higher where child test rates are low.

Child testing data reporting stopped as of Nov 4, 2021? Why aren't we seeing child testing data from a MAJORITY of states?👀

11 out of only 24 states & NYC report >1,000 child hospitalizations. Reporting states range from 47 to 3,377 (AZ). What about CA, FL, IL and MI, etc? 5 states report 0 COVID-19 child deaths. Are children who die at home tested? TX has the highest COVID-19 child deaths at 119.
