Viral Moment: Sotomayor Inaccurately Says 100K Children Are In 'Serious Condition' With Covid

The recent case surge has resulted in an increase in the child hospitalization rate, with double the amount of children being admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 as opposed to just two week ago. However, daily Covid hospitalizations for Americans under 18 has remained below 1,000.
