that is anecdotal and based on kids who come into the hospital. i bet there are WAY more infected kids than that. that doctor is only seeing the ones who are the sickest. 10% of the ones who come into the hospital need to be hospitalized makes sense, because that's why they are there. i don't think it's a good indicator of whether the new variant is any more deadly than the previous strains.
