Incorrect. If you read the recent story (and not just the headlines), you'd know that of the children hospitalized (for normal childhood things, NOT for Covid), many of them ALSO test positive for Covid, since they test everyone admitted, even if they are not admitted for Covid symptoms...
"However, he said, his hospital has seen a lot of kids test positive for Covid without necessarily showing symptoms or getting sick.
"We test anybody who’s admitted to the hospital for whatever reason to see whether or not they have Covid, and we’re definitely seeing an increase in cases. However, we’re really not seeing an increase in children who are hospitalized for Covid or in the intensive care unit for Covid," Offit said."
