“I sorry, Mommy. Mommy hugs, I scared. I don’t like it. Mommy!” This 3-year-old, reacting as he was put on a ventilator, is among almost 140 Utah children under age 14 who were reported hospitalized with COVID-19 in the past two weeks.
Justin Lee Francis, 3, is treated for COVID-19, asthma, pneumonia and other illnesses in January 2022 at Primary Children's Hospital.“I sorry, Mommy. Mommy hugs, I scared. I don’t like it. Mommy!”
For very young children, one pediatric specialist said, the omicron variant may not be so much “milder” than previous strains of the virus. More than 50 children less than 1 year old were reported as hospitalized with COVID-19 in the past two weeks, according to state data released Thursday. In Salt Lake County alone, 15 children under 5 were hospitalized last week, more than double any other week of the pandemic.
Pavia noted that those patients, once admitted to the hospital, generally are faring better than hospitalized children did with previous variants of the coronavirus.
