get an as ma attack. that s what we re seeing in the patients. who not only have active air way disease like asthma. some are younger who have smaller air ways than adults. and what maybe a bronchitis for you or me can really set up difficulty breathing. for medical treatment for young kids. even without diagnosed as ma. we re seeing on top of the normal winter surge of pediatric admissions ask it s normal to see a rise in hospitalization because of flu and respiratory virus. and the standard viruss. we re seeing kids getting the same exacerbations of the diseases. caused by covid. what i m thankful we re not seeing a tremendous amount of is pneumonia. being caused by the virus in those kids. new york mayor is planning to keep schools open. l.a. school district is ordering mandatory negative tests for
vaccinated. so it s also in those who are under five. air ways are a bit smaller. and the virus does replicate really quickly in the air ways. so the kids can t toll rat as much air way inflammation as adults can. we know new york new mayor is considering a booster mandate. for city employees. do you think that this is what s now required considering we are as you say, two years into this pandemic. absolutely. it s a great idea. the right public health move. anybody who is going indoors to vaccines aren t really giving any efficacy in prempbting you from getting omicron. if you are six months out. you have 0 to 20% efficacy in having in getting it. and transferring it. there s still a good efficacy against you getting really sick. but if we re trying to tamp down the amount of spread requiring
