In New Zealand only the very sickest children, those who are having difficulties breathing or feeding, are going to be admitted to hospital as the children's hospitals and wards are overwhelmed. My granddaughter was on a 22 bed PICU in the main Children's Hospital, but they had to bring in extra beds to accommodate the high number of patients; unfortunately this puts additional pressure on the staff.
If we were to get a similar spike of respiratory infections in children I think the NHS would find it equally difficult to cope, especially with the number of COVID admissions rising again.
