U.S. children being hospitalized with COVID in near-record numbers
KTLA ^ | Dec 30, 2021 | Associated Press

The omicron-fueled surge that is sending COVID-19 cases rocketing in the U.S. is putting children in the hospital in record numbers, and experts lament that most of the youngsters are not vaccinated.

“It’s just so heartbreaking,” said Dr. Paul Offit, an infectious-disease expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “It was hard enough last year, but now you know that you have a way to prevent all this.”

During the week of Dec. 22-28, an average of 378 children 17 and under were admitted per day to hospitals with the coronavirus, a 66% increase from the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.


There are 74 million people in the United States under 18 years of age. So 378 per day would be 0.000005% of that population.

two-thirds had underlying conditions that put them at risk — either chronic lung disease or, more commonly, obesity.

Aria Shapiro, 6, spent her 12th day Thursday at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She tested positive for COVID-19 after getting her first dose of the vaccine Dec. 17. Aria, who is considered “medically fragile” because she has epilepsy, suffered prolonged seizures in the hospital, and a breathing tube had to be put down her throat at one point, though she has since improved.

That number tells us little without some background and other related numbers. How many are in and out? In tough shape?

2800/50 states - 56 per state per week.

The three hospitals in my central coast California county has a total of 2 people in the ICU related to COVID. No children. Last COVID death was an individual in his 80s. Time to panic!

And "with Covid", "of Covid", after vaccination, and based on what test?

And how many really need to be in the hospital? Since hospitals are incentivized for Covid patients, I'm suspicious.

I highly doubt this. Vaccine related sicknesses, sure, but not a weaker variant of covid.

NO, they are not!

Children who are being admitted to the hospital FOR OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS are being tested, and are tested "positive" via the BS PCR test.

They have neither symptoms nor the virus!

But, the hospitals get a great big Federal Bonus!

They’re ramping up the fear porn to convince moron moms to clot shot their children.

You mean right after they got vaxxed? The vaxxed are popping pos with the false pos pcr tests.
Anyrhing to hide vax harm. Easy to create a target that will test positive.

The omicron variant of COVID-19 Wuhan virus does not, for the most part, put anybody in the hospital in and of itself, but only if there is some comorbidity. It is a bad cold, but nothing that cannot be controlled, in most instances, with common-sense home care, plenty of liquids, and perhaps aspirin, to control fever. Self-limiting, usually about five days to a week, and the patient is recovered, not “super-spreading”, and most probably with a brand new immunity to all COVID-19 virus infections.

Think of it, a “live-virus” inoculation that evolved all on its own, without extensive technical innovations or lab testing.

I don’t think so. If there are lots of American children in the hospitals do to Omicron then our children are different than all other children in the world. Israel, South Africa and Great Briton do not see this. But they do see people in the hospital for other reasons who have Omicron. And in fact, many get it from the hospital.

welp, the test is fake and has something like a 97% false positive rate so there's that. They 'need' more sickness so they simply test more and more false positives surface.

Mewzilla found a new way they are lying - so expect "Covid" deaths to go up for children:

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet: “Covid patients in America’s hospitals today are actually being treated worse than prisoners in American jails”mewzilla wrote:

Sorta related. From June. Get a load of this...

https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20210629/fema-amends-covid-19-funeral-assistance-policy

“The new policy provides applicants, as well as medical authorities, coroners and jurisdictions, flexibility to attribute a death to COVID-19 without amending the death certificate.”

SNORT.

The stats are crap.

All of them.

 

Sadly, when they diagnose a child with Covid than they may just prey upon them the deadly CDC 'Covid Protocol'. Prayers up for the little ones.

The Asspress is nothing but hideous liars and Democrat louts. I doubt the late Gene Autry would like what has become of KTLA.

No. They are testing everyone admitted to the hospital for any reason and completely asymptomatic children are testing positive. Children are hospitalized WITH COVID not FOR COVID. If Johnny breaks a leg in a car accident, falling out of a tree or skiing and tests positive for COVID he is included in the statistic.
