[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many pediatric beds are normally available in any given hospital?

Just saying "the beds are full!" sounds scary but if it is like 10 beds that's a different take-away.

Also isn't RSV making a bunch of kids hospitalized right now?  And the thought is that because they were quarantined last year they are getting it early this year (when restrictions were relaxed)?  So aren't a portion of the beds due to...past quarantines?[/quote]

Thank you.

I am really starting to feel like the media is fear mongering on the kids and Covid issue specifically to drive a wedge issue they can feed off of for the next month or two. They obviously need to report on the spread of Covid in children due to Delta, but they should also be explaining that much of it is driven by factors like large numbers of unvaccinated adults in places like Florida and Louisiana, poor access to healthcare in many places even before Covid, high rates of uninsured, etc. Plus, yes, put things into context with RSV and other viruses that are likely hitting kids harder right now after not being exposed to much the last year.

We need info, but a lot of people only want to focus on the info that terrifies parents about kids and Covid and don't want to discuss what it actually means, in context, in terms of risks to kids (especially in places with high vaccination rates, for instance).[/quote]
