The New York Times reported that during the period of Omikon quickly spreading from December 19 to February 19 this year, the hospitalization rate of patients under the age of five was in the age of five.About five times the period of Delta's epidemic period from the 27th to December 18th; the children living in the integrated ward also increased significantly, and reached its peak on January 8 this year.
(New York Composite Electric) Data from the US Disease Control and Prevention Center shows that during the Omicor Ronglon cigarette, the hospitalization rate of crown disease infected by children under the age of five is significantly higher than thatOther poison strains were prevailing.
The New York Times reported that during the period of Omicor Rong quickly spread from December 19 to February 19 this year, the hospitalization rate of patients under the age of five was June 27, last yearBy December 18th, about five times the period of Delta's epidemic period; children living in the intensive care unit also increased significantly, and reached a peak on January 8 this year.
The hospitalization rate of colored children under the age of five is not proper.Among the children in hospitalization, 28%are Latin American, 23%are black, and only one -third of them are white.Latin American people account for 18%in the United States and 13%of blacks.Among the hospitalized children under the age of five, 6%are Asian or Pacific Islanders, which is comparable to their proportion of their population in the United States.
Experts point out that the crown disease infection rates of colored people are high, mainly because their parents are engaged in public work, and they also come from poverty and many families in the same generation.
The threat of crown disease to infants and young children cannot be ignored. The weakest defense ability is six months or smaller babies. During the Omircum period, nearly half of the patients with crown disease hospitalization hospitalizedFor half years old or smaller babies.Their hospitalization rate at the peak of Omikon was about five times higher than the peak period, and two babies died unfortunately.
Leoheman, assistant professor at the School of Public Health of Boston University, said: "People should know that children under one year old face a very serious threat, especially at the peak of the epidemic.The opportunity to contact the virus. "
Experts are also worried that the sequelae of the crown disease will cause sequelae
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, there have been more than 1,000 in the United States under the outbreak.Children died of crown disease, of which 350 were under five years old.Experts are also worried that crown disease will cause sequelae to children, or cause rare but fatal multi -system inflammatory syndrome.
About two -thirds of the patients who are hospitalized in hospitals have good health before infection and have no potential diseases.
The United States has not yet approved any crown vaccine for young children under the age of five. The experts are therefore strongly suggested that people who often come into contact with children to vaccine.
The spread of the BA.2 of Omikon is pushing up new cases in Europe and Asia.At present, about 30%of patients in the United States are infected with this mutant plant.
The Director of the Institute of National Allergies and Infectious Diseases, Foic, said in an interview with the US Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) program that BA.2 mutant plant materials will riseComprehensive surge.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that preparing for preparations and restoration of epidemic prevention measures in indoor public places will be restored.
He pointed out that the confirmed cases, hospitalization rates and death cases in the United States have continued to decline, and although the infectious power of BA.2 is 50%higher than the original strain of Omikon, it causes severe illnesses or evasionVaccine antibodies are not higher than other strains.
