Quellen vergessen! Und es gibt anderslautende Reports

In Südafrika kommen derzeit Kinder <= 5 a vermehrt mit Omikron auf Intensivstationen. Abschließend würde ich Omikron noch nicht als harmlos bewerten wollen.

Dr. John Campbell hat da andere Informationen, übergibt ihm doch Deine Quellen zu "Kinder <= 5 a vermehrt mit Omikron auf Intensivstationen". Er wird sicher hoch interessiert sein.

Ntsakisi Maluleke, public health specialist Gauteng province

Zitat: Ntsakisi Maluleke, a public health specialist in the Gauteng province that includes Tshwane and the biggest city Johannesburg, said that out of the 1,511 COVID-positive patients in hospitals in the province 113 were under 9 years old, a greater proportion than during previous waves of infection.

“We are comforted by clinicians’ reports that the children have mild disease,” she told Reuters in an interview, adding health officials and scientists were investigating what was driving the increased admissions in younger ages and were hoping to provide more clarity in the coming two weeks.

Since only a small percentage of South Africa’s positive COVID-19 tests are sent for genomic sequencing, officials do not yet know which variants the children admitted to hospital have been infected with.

Maluleke said healthcare workers could be acting out of an abundance of caution. “They would rather have a child under care for a day or two than having a child at home and complicating, ... but we really need to wait for the evidence,” she said.

Sprich: Die Kinder werden nach "better save than sorry" ins Spital eingewiesen und haben milde Symptome.
