National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins said there is no currently available data to show whether child hospitalizations are rising nationwide.
“historically low levels” of RSV while there were strict safety precautions in the U.S., but now people are relaxing and increasing contact with the pathogens that weren’t spreading as much earlier on in the pandemic. Overall, the risk of death and hospitalization among children who contract Covid-19 remains low. Just over 520 children have died from Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic and only around 0.01% recorded cases result in death.
Exacerbating concerns over this current trend is a massive jump in the number of children catching Covid-19. Areleased last Tuesday by the American Academy of Pediatrics recorded almost 72,000 new cases among children from July 22-29, up from 39,000 the week prior and a sum that comprised about 19% of all cases reported nationally over that period. AAP said cases have increased fivefold since the end of June.
