(I really did try to find an answer to whether more children are being hospitalized for all reasons but I haven't found those numbers yet)

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the most recent numbers show that in states reporting, 0.00%-0.02% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death.
If there were two children hospitalized with Covid and now there are six, I guess that constitutes a “surge”. Hospitalizations would have tripled… When working with very small numbers, sometimes it makes sense to look at the actual numbers not the percentage change.
