Of the 11.4 million covid cases diagnosed in children, 1.6 million have been in those under 5.

About 30% of all the diagnosed cases were in Jan Omicron wave.
Tragically, children under 5 represent 15% of all diagnosed cases, but about 35% of the ~1,100 total pediatric deaths. pic.twitter.com/g2TZp5CGXa

2) Where else do we see high hospitalizations in kids on par with hospitalization in elderly? In Utah, recent 2 week #COVID19 hospitalization showing huge surges in kids too 👇 https://t.co/OpXhm2Yfyv

4) But are cases in kids slowing? Not in kids! In fact the cases in England among 5-9 year olds (mostly not vaxxed) are still surging in kids. https://t.co/pvXQ1Wcprg

6) UPDATE – Pediatric #COVID19 hospitalizations have surged again in England 🏴— another record high. https://t.co/9ZZhnAJmFE

8) and again, the “case-admission” data is indeed a metric of severity. The SA report directly says it is a metric for infection severity. There’s no vagueness about it. Kids infected with #Omicron have it worse than delta. While adults have it milder. Both datasets confirm it. pic.twitter.com/8TbqYvPC8F
