The experience of the United Kingdom suggests delta is no more dangerous to young children than the original strain. The UK wave of delta cases did not result in a rash of deaths among young people who remain unvaccinated.

That said, US case numbers are much higher overall so far more US children, both in gross numbers and per capita, will get covid than did in the UK. Like the original strain Delta can hospitalize children. So its no surprise to me that our pediatric wards will be at capacity from this surge in cases.

Thankfully vaccinations numbers in Louisiana are improving.

They weren't at capacity before...why would they be at capacity this time?

The CDC has stated that vaccinations can longer be relied upon to prevent infection or transmission of the virus. How does the above help the children?
