📊SEVERITY IN KIDS—To debunk/educate those asking if #Omicron is more severe versus Delta in kids relative to adults—let’s look at new official 🇿🇦CDC’s data—➡️case-hospitalization rate is HIGHER now in kids vs Delta, & higher than adults! (Look at chart below—even risk adjusted).

2) Don’t believe South Africa 🇿🇦 CDC’s official report? Want to see US data showing similarly phenomena? Utah also shows troubling trends in severity in youngest kids surpassing per capita hospitalization in middle age adults—(Not vaccine adjusted like SA is above, but still bad)

3) But but but is “case-hospital admission rates” indicative of severity?? Let’s goto the South Africa 🇿🇦 @nicd_sa report’s language directly… “case admission rates are indicative of the severity of the infection—➡️ higher case admission rate indicates more severe infections” 👀 
4) a new record shattering month of COVID deaths in kids in England 🏴! With deaths still being backfilled and further added. Mild my ass.

5) But but but “it’s mild” they keep saying…

6) Show us more data of severity of #Omicron in kids versus adults? Age 0-2 hospitalization per capita now exceeds even hospitalizations in age 65-79! 🇩🇰 has some of the best data in the world.
Deniers aren’t watching the data carefully. My team is.

7) Furthermore, on kids severity with #Omicron—early Dec 2021 had already found ⬆️ 20% higher hospitalization risk for kids if infected. From a database of 211,000 COVID positive tests!!! Must look at severity in this case-hospitalization way. And these were later confirmed!!
