"It's not that schools are worse than other indoor places. But they are an indoor place. And they're an indoor place that often has poor ventilation, that does have crowding, and that now has the single population that is the least vaccinated."

“…not recognizing that they bring harm to their community. There are no more pediatric beds available. The Pediatric ICU is full. My son who may not live is actually one of the less sick children in the unit- and it has been surreal to watch him struggle to live and breathe…”

This might help explain why US hospitalizations are

100,000 in the Delta wave relative to the 3rd wave when there were no vaccinations. And the higher % of children who are getting hospitalized. The Delta high viral load/dose may be the culprit

2,339 US children were hospitalized with COVID-19 last week.

this is the 4th week in a row of record breaking child hospitalizations from COVID-19.

as the unqualified 'play' life & death with science these numbers will only worsen.

Not sure how this can be described as 'reassuring' at all. 1 in 7 children having persistent symptoms at 15 weeks with ~34,000 children estimated to be affected (very similar to ONS estimates). Quite shocked by some of the media spin I've seen on this.🧵
