The spreading omicron variant is taking a toll on the youngest people in the country. Doctors with the American Academy of Pediatrics report 325,000 children tested positive for COVID last week.
One of those who tested positive is little Doni Rivera from the East Bay. Although he’s home safe and ready to engage the world now, his mother said it’s a sharp contrast to his condition just days ago.
She brought her 3-month-old son home Tuesday, after a five-day stay in a pediatric intensive care unit. "I thought everybody was OK. And I started noticing after Christmas, around Monday, that my son wasn’t feeling too good," said Johnson. The American Academy of Pediatrics said the number of children catching the virus increased 64% from the week before Christmas to the week after Christmas.
