Amid concerns over Omicron, the number of Covid infections in the United States is increasing rapidly. A large number of children are being admitted to the hospital. Seeing this, the doctors have also started counting down the hours of fear. Paul Affitt, an infectious disease specialist, said at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
According to the report, an average of 36 children were hospitalized in the United States between December 22-26. The victims are 18 years of age and below. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), hospital admissions have jumped to 7 percent during that time. Earlier, an average of 342 children were admitted to the hospital every day in September. But due to the effect of Omicron, the doctors are counting the mistakes as this figure has been exceeded this time.
There are about 600,000 daily infections in the United States. Between December 22-26, an average of 10,200 people were admitted to the hospital every day. But doctors have warned that the situation could worsen in the next few weeks.
President Joe Biden has taken no innovative or logical steps to tackle the situation. He is always busy with his political career.
