“This is the first major surge in pediatrics that we’ve had throughout the pandemic,” Harris said. “The number of kids with positive tests is just skyrocketing. It’s like a tidal wave.”
“What makes me nervous is what’s gonna to happen three weeks from now,” Harris told The Daily Beast. “Will we be seeing high rates of MIS-C?... I think we just have to kinda hold our breath and see what happens.”“These are some of the sickest kids I’ve ever seen in my career,” he said of pediatric COVID patients who subsequently fall victim to the syndrome that can attack the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, eyes, and gastrointestinal system.
As a Northwell medical director for emergency management, Harris has worked with his colleagues there and in other health-care systems to expand and reinforce their capacity to handle whatever comes as best they can in this new wave. He performs a ritual that many frontline medical workers followed when the first wave hit New York in the spring of 2020.
He certainly does not subscribe to the notion—gaining in popularity as Omicron spreads—that we might as well accept that we are all going to get COVID anyway.
