Will this change the conversation? New Omicron variant fills up children's hospitals in United States By CNN 12:33am Dec 29, 2021 A five-fold increase in pediatric admissions in New York City this month. Close to double the numbers admitted in Washington, DC. And nationwide, on average, pediatric hospitalisations are up 35 per cent in just the past week. The highly transmissible Omicron variant is teaming up with the busy holiday season to infect more children across the United States than ever before, and children's hospitals are bracing for it to get even worse.

"Cases are continuing to rise between Christmas gatherings and we're going to continue to see more numbers this week from that," Dr Spinner said in a telephone interview. "Now we're going to have New Year's on top of that this coming weekend, with more people getting together, more exposures and then those numbers will continue to climb."
