Children in the U.S. Are Being Hospitalized With COVID-19 in Near-Record Numbers

アメリカの状況で言うと

They’re struggling to breathe, coughing, coughing, coughing,” Offit said. “A handful were sent to the ICU to be sedated. We put the attachment down their throat that’s attached to a ventilator, and the parents are crying.”

In California, 80 COVID-19-infected children were admitted to the hospital during the week of Dec. 20-26, compared with 50 in the last week of November, health officials said.

Seattle Children’s also reported a bump in the number of children admitted over the past week. And while they are less seriously ill than those hospitalized over the summer, Dr. John McGuire cautioned that it is early in the omicron wave, and the full effect will become apparent over the next several weeks.


“A fourfold increase makes everybody jump with concern, but it’s a small percentage,” Ko said of the New York City figures. “Children have a low risk of being hospitalized, but those who do are unvaccinated.”


Dr. Al Sacchetti, chief of emergency services at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, New Jersey, likewise said vaccinated children are handling the omicron outbreak extremely well.


While many of these children will recover at home, they may have contact with others who are at much greater risk, said Dr. Jason Terk, a pediatrician in North Texas. He cared for a 10-year-old boy with COVID-19 who managed the disease well, but his father got sick and died, he said.


“The death of a parent is devastating, but the toxic stress for a young person in this situation is difficult to measure,” he said.


1)子どもたちの間で感染拡大が記録的なものになりつつある。

2)軽症者がおおいが、なかには重傷者もいる。

3)オミクロン波の初期であり、いまだ断定的なことを言えない。

4)ワクチンをうった子どもたちは入院する確率は低い。

5)子供が感染して治ったが、家で親にうつして親が死んでしまったケースも。
