BANGKOK, Feb 21 (TNA) – Hospital beds for children infected with COVID-19 were densely occupied because they had not been vaccinated and contracted the disease from parents, according to the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health.

 

Dr Adisai Pattatang, director of the institute, said about 80% of hospital beds for children infected with COVID-19 were occupied and home isolation (HI) was applied to the infected children who were 1 year old and over and were asymptomatic.

 

Of the infected children, 15-17% were admitted to hospital, 50% were asymptomatic and 2.2% were critically ill.

1. There will be many times the number of infections in children than reported. 2. Probably find those2.2% have severe underlying conditions. I posted on Saturdays thread about BBC radio programme I had listened to on covid and children. Outcome was the risk is very low indeed for healthy children. This news also coincides with the push for vaccination of young children, coincidence?
