The Louisiana government had a press conference today where doctors from children's hospitals claimed their hospitals are full, especially the ICUs. [0] Even if kids don't die and just get sick enough to take up beds that still puts stress on limited hospital resources that other children need. The CDC data doesn't seem to show an unusual surge in hospitalizations for kids (0-17) [1]. But the LDH data does show a significant increase in cases for kids [2] (and local news has reports from local hospitals citing highest-ever covid-positive child patients [3]). Of course if the nymag article is correct and it's just a short spike then that would be a relief for many people.
