Mississippi is experiencing a surge in cases of the highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant. The state's health agency issued a warning for the unvaccinated population after seven kids below 12 years old are in ICU. Two of the children are hooked on ventilators.
The state's Health Officer, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, posted the warning on Twitter to inform the public of the rising COVID-19 Delta variant cases impacting the unvaccinated. He also reminded the community to protect themselves and ensure their safety by getting the vaccine if they are eligible.
With great and personal apologies - MS with 7 children in ICU with 2 on the ventilator (life support). A hospital has corrected it's report to us from last evening. And yes - 7 children with COVID.
