"We are hospitalizing record numbers of children," Kline said, adding that the majority are under 12 and can't yet be vaccinated.
In Alabama, Kimberlin noted that "our hospitals are close to complete capacity, and that includes children's hospitals in Mobile and Birmingham."
"We're deferring scheduled procedures," he said. "There are people who need cancer surgery that's being put off because there's no guarantee we'll have a bed available for them. People with heart attacks don't have beds. A child with vehicular trauma doesn't have a place to go because we're full."
"I think the rate of increase we see in pediatric cases is truly alarming," he added. "We've seen a skyrocketing of cases in a very short period of time. It's Delta. It's hypertransmissible. Combine that with the fact that two-thirds of our population [in Alabama] are not vaccinated -- that's not even touching on the kids under 12 who are not able to be vaccinated -- and you have a recipe for disaster."
