From your link: "0.1% and 1.9% of all child Covid-19 cases resulted in hospitalization."So, can they not spread it? That is and was very true with the alpha and beta variants, but what about Delta?
Major children’s hospitals in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Florida—states that have been battling a broader increase in hospitalizations—all said this week they have more children in their care than at any other point in the pandemic.
Coronavirus-linked hospitalizations are up 50% from their previous peak at the Arkansas Children’s hospitals in Little Rock and Springdale, the hospitals’ chief clinical officer told CNN, deeming the 24 total pediatric patients housed at their facilities as of Wednesday (which includes seven in intensive care and two on ventilators) the “worst we’ve ever seen it for kids.”
Hospitals In Southern U.S. Report Record Numbers Of Children Hospitalized Amid Delta Surge—Though Deaths Still Extremely Rare
Hospitals in multiple southern states are reporting a sharp uptick in the number of children they are seeing admitted, with some hitting new pandemic records.www.forbes.com
Your stats are meaningless without a frame of reference. A 50% increase could be 3 instead of 2!
Of course it is worse now for the kids, because they never had it when everyone else did!
