So, more kids are being admitted WITH an incidental positive covid test, NOT due to covid...
According to the news, almost 199,000 child COVID-19 cases were reported during the week of Dec. 16-23, and children are being admitted to the hospital with Covid in record numbers. Experts lament that most of the youngsters are not vaccinated.
