        Clear pattern emerging worldwide that kids are extra-susceptible to #Omicron—we see it in South Africa 🇿🇦 UK 🇬🇧 Denmark 🇩🇰 and 🇺🇸 in both NYC & Providence. South Africa🇿🇦 data also shows kids are at 20% higher risk of hospitalization with Omicron than vs old 2020 strain. #COVID19 https://twitter.com/eduwonkette_jen/status/1471462068360552451 …
