you know, i wanted to ask you about miguel marquez's piece just really hits home once again and puts hese numbers that we see. pediatric hospitalizations are at their highest they have ever been as miguel showed in that piece. you hear the numbers and, of course, that is concerning. but i'm wondering as we're seeing with this surge of omicron, and what we're seeing in the numbers with kids specifically, do you think it should change the way people think about this variant and about life with this virus at this point? >> yeah, i really do. i mean, i think that what we have sort of gotten used to thinking this is a virus that predominantly affects the elderly, predominantly affects those with underlying conditions and that's true. what has changed and people realize this over the last couple of weeks, omicron is the dominant strain in this country and it's really contagious. things you may have gotten away with in the past, you're not likely to get away with now because it's that contagious. and even though children are less likely to develop severe illness, as you heard at the end of m

cnn's miguel marquez is live in kentucky. the hospitals that you visited in september. what did you see this time? >> reporter: this was st. clair health care in moorehead, kentucky, a regional hospital that serves 11 rural counties in northeastern kentucky. it's bad. it's as bad as it was in september. some days are worse than others, and they are not sure where they are on this current wave and even if they get through it, they're not sure if there is another wave coming. health care workers are flat-out tired of it all. it's difficult not only to manage the number of coronavirus cases, but everything else that everyone has been suffering that they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, they are battling not only the virus, but false information as well, and also trying to balance work and life. >> with the increased number of covid patients that we see at times, it decreases any kind of capacity we have. we have difficulty transferring patients to other facilities that are experiencing the same things. so i worry about my
