The Sunshine State leads the nation in another alarming coronavirus
statistic: Kids hospitalized with COVID-19. Florida had 32 pediatric
COVID-19 hospitalizations per day between July 24 and 30, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Adjusted for population, that’s
0.76 kids hospitalized per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the
country. The Florida Department of Health reported 10,785 new COVID-19
infections among children under 12 between July 23 and 29. That’s an
average of 1,540 new cases per day
