@Piggyinblankets the article says (according to a source)
"They also confirmed that Covid patients were now commonplace in every ward, including children's wards.
Also a "high number" of teenagers had been admitted with the illness."
That isn't the same as
"Kent Online yesterday reported that children's wards are full of Covid cases and that there has been a concerning increase in hospitalisation of teenagers."
I appreciate it is potentially worrying but we do need to be careful not to spread concern without evidence.
I feel confident that if more young people were falling seriously ill than have been doing so previously we would be hearing more about this from hospitals and the government. Let's face it the government needs to use all the tools that it can to make people listen!
I have double checked with my contacts at Leicester and Nottingham hospitals and they have not seen an increase in young people who are unwell due to Covid. However, They have seen more cases where children admitted for other reasons have gone onto test positive but without any symptoms of Covid.
