From July 29th, in reference to increases in pedatric hospitalizations of children reported in several states:

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) releases a weekly report on child cases and hospitalizations, but not all states regularly submit data. Its most recent report on July 22 calculated children made up between 1.3% and 3.6% of total reported hospitalizations, 0.1% and 1.9% of all child Covid-19 cases resulted in hospitalization. Overall, the risk of death and hospitalization among children who contract Covid-19 remains extremely low. Just over 520 children have died from Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic (0.08% of the U.S.’s 612,000 total deaths) and only around 0.01% recorded cases result in death."[/quote]
- Only 23 US states + NYC report their hospitalization numbers for this, and some of the currently hardest hit, in particular, don't report (Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas for example).
- All figures quoted are [b]cumulative[/b] from May 2020 until July 2021, so they don't give any sense of more recent changes related to delta.
- The more recent report is here: https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20and%20CHA%20-%20Children%20and%20COVID-19%20State%20Data%20Report%207.29%20FINAL.pdf[/quote]
