[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]COVID cases in children up 85% in the last week.

If this is supposed to be an indication of delta, then pertinently the hospitalization rate in that same period hasn't changed.  Still overall about ~1% of cases.

So neither of these things is delta or both are.[/quote]

Let me amend my statement:  How long would be expect a lag from case identification to hospital, for kids?  A week?[/quote]

The AAP report will give you decent info on cases, but only gets hospitalization data from 23 states + NYC. And the states not reporting of course include the ones currently hardest hit with the big spikes in pediatric cases and pediatric hospitalizations (Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, etc).

That’s a good point.  Is the increase in cases purely confined to the states on which we don’t have hospital data?  I can’t imagine why it would be.

But if we are seeing [/quote]

Oops mucky thumbs.

If we are seeing increases in cases in places other than those specific states, then we’d also be seeing increases in hospital admissions from those states, yes?  I’m not at a computer otherwise i would look.[/quote]
