The MIS-C children have died in the United States because The MIS-C children didn't get to emergency rooms fast enough.

The problem is that with so many children and adults infected, even if the percent hospitalization rate is lower, we could see more children hospitalized over a very short period of time, and that certainly puts a strain on our health care resources.

I think it's clear over the summer months we had children mingling playing out and about, many children are now congregating in preschool and obviously grade school environments -- high schools too. So we also know they're involved in extracurricular activities and getting together socially and playing.

We have reached new records in the Delta surge, we had reached a high over 900 cases in one week, in early January of 2021. That was our winter surge peak. We have now exceeded 1,300 cases in one week.
