They say Children’s is full, 70% of admissions are COVID (that is COVID is the reason for admission, not an incidental finding). They are admitting about 18 kids a day. Most are 5 and under. 1/3 are admitted to the ICU.
Also, that in non-hospitalized young kids, they are seeing an “aggressive” form of croup like illness that they (and parents) find alarming. And that Type 1 diabetes has been linked to Omicron. That’s a lifelong illness.

Maybe be less harsh on new parents who cannot get kids vaxxed?
