Though child COVID-19 hospitalizations remain much lower than adult levels, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showed that the number of children hospitalized for the virus increased last week by 58 percent over the previous week.
The CDC said that between December 21 and December 27, an average of 334 children under the age of 17 had to be admitted to hospitals each day. This is the highest peak since September.
During the same December period, about 9,400 people of all ages were hospitalized with the virus per day, meaning that despite the increase in kids' hospitalizations, children still made up less than 4 percent ...

the count is a bit higher but the dates are also shifted up one day.
The ABC article also breaks out California, "In California, 80 COVID-19-infected children were admitted to the hospital during the week of Dec. 20-26, compared with 50 in the last week of November" and NY/NYC: "New York City with COVID-19 went from 22 to 109 between Dec. 5 and Dec. 24. Across all of New York state, it went from 70 to 184." and, finally, "Almost 199,000 child COVID-19 cases were reported during the week of Dec. 16-23"
Jumping over to the LA Times via msn , we find "Half of the children being admitted to hospitals are younger than 5 and ineligible for vaccination. Three-quarters of those ages 12 to 17 who were admitted into hospitals for COVID-19 were not fully vaccinated, and 100% of those ages 5 to 11 who were admitted into hospitals were not fully vaccinated." but the way it's written I'm not sure if that's speaking to NY or in general.
I thought Omnicrom was mild mostly an upper respiratory infection. So, why so many hospitalizations?
The big lie.
Delta is still more widespread than Omi. On Dec 14, Omi was only 3% of Calif cases, while the CDC estimated 13% of NY cases were Omi on that date.. The stories out of NY now are so confusing it goes from 90% Omi to anywhere in between, but Calif is still mostly Delta.
The Hill, says that the positivity rate in NY is 18.5%, or one in 5 testing are infected. Hard for kiddies to avoid that kind of saturation in the adults around them.

Thousands and thousands of people are hospitalized every day for accidents and injuries or routine surgeries, now suddenly every kid with sniffles is a Covid casualty — and the hospitals make more money from each admission that way.
But not suddenly, actually, we’ve been gaslighted since day one of MSM coverage.
Fauxi already admitted they go to the hospital for other things like a broken leg. Hospitals are testing every single soul that gets admitted. It’s a way to keep the panic numbers up.
Think about this folks. 300 kids hospitalized per day across the country?
Once again, the writer has an agenda.
sure, but they’ll still have to take up a covid ward bed because they won’t put an infectious patient in a general ward. So admissions tie up more medical resources and further delaying non-emergency care, and in some cases, result in a non-covid patient being shipped out of area, which sucks eggs for the family.
Pay no attention to the health care workers that joek's puppetmasters in the JoeLitburo had fired, thus reducing the capacity of hospitals...
South Africa also saw more children admitted to the hospital during their Omicron wave - but it was not some overwhelming increase, and most had COVID coincidentally (it was not the reason they were admitted).
It’s the same bait switch scam they’ve been using since day one. How many children are admitted while having a cold for something totally different? If your kid is riding his bike and wrecks, gets hurt bad enough to be admitted and coincidentally tests for a very mild case of omnicon, he would be a Covid statistic.
You understand the part where you vaxxpimps DON'T get to quack about "overwhelmed hospitals", when vaxxpimping CAUSED the overwhelming by firing competent staff, right?
Nod your head if you understand, blueplum.
I like your style, kiryandil!
in general, it’s not the nurses and doctors who weren’t vaccinated and were terminated - it was the lower level staff and nursing home staff (many below 50% vaccinated while taking care of high-risk elderly with weak immunity, a nonsensical result which put elder risk right back to last year). Some nurses quit for 6x the salary being traveling nurses. They’re still in the field just not at their old hospitals. Some got tired of unnecessary deaths and went sabattical. Some reassigned to ICU couldn’t handle it and freaked. Some have PTSD - death, kids dying, rationing care, and the occasional death threat from an irate family member, has an effect. People sometimes don’t realize that, and expect on-demand medical care to be there all the time every time. But over 2 years, the pandemic is burning through our talent and not all casualties are the dead.
I wonder how many doctors are switching the primary dx and secondary dxs so they can get be reimbursed more money. One thing I was taught in medical coding school was that upcoding (changing the ICD-10 codes in such a way that the hospital receives more money) is fraud and if it involves medicare a federal crime.
People invested in pandemic profiteer propaganda and filled with scary stories are sad because they don’t bother to verify anything in their desperation to be part of a ‘cool’ cult and ‘stick it to the man’ by dying, I guess.
nurses and doctors are vaccinated against lots of things from TB to Hep. Anyone who provides an intimate level of service to people should be vaccinated, medical, first responders, cops, teachers, military. That’s why they get the big bucks and golden perks. OTOH nobody is keeping them from going to work for McDonalds or changing tires at Big O for minimum wage.
Having it and being seriously ill because of it are not the same thing.
“So, why so many hospitalizations?”
Notice if you call your doctor there’s a recording telling you if this is a life-threatening emergency call 911? I’ve had this problem with my doctor. I call to ask a question and the nurse says, “Go to the emergency room.” That’s because if they tell you that then they’re not legally liable for any bad outcomes. It has nothing to do with medical necessity. The bottom number on my BP was 106. Normal should be around 80. I called to ask the doctor about it. The nurse told me to call 911 or go to the emergency room. Turns out if it’s less than 120 (the lower number, so, say 168/120) then they’ll admit you. Another nurse, a personal friend told me that. Otherwise, don’t go.
You’re a parent and your kid suddenly shows symptoms and, because of the misleading news you panic and call 911. If you come in an ambulance, they admit you. So, the end results, lots of hospital admissions that should not be.
I actually live in a community where health care is a large part of the local economy.
My best friend worked in a technology support role at the local health care conglomerate, and his wife was an RN.
He taught me what scumbags the healthcare admins are as a class - so I was able to recognize the scumbag moves they'd make when some of their brethren took over my university.
The vaccination firings were unnecessary - it was just healthcare admin being healthcare admin scum.
Drop a dollar bill, and they can smell it five miles away...
