Doctors Fear Rare Illness Sickening NY Children May Be Linked to COVID-19: Source
NBC New York ^ | 04/28/20 | Melissa Russo

"We meet on a regular basis through webinars with doctors at the ICUs at all of the hospitals and we have not seen this to date,” said New York City Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot at a news conference on Wednesday. “To date, we have not heard of ways in which the coronavirus has been affecting children’s cardiovascular systems,” Barbot added.

But on Thursday, New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker acknowledged the state was aware of a few cases of kids with a toxic shock-like syndrome potentially connected to the coronavirus. He did not say exactly how many or where but said it was an issue he had discussed with hospital medical directors and health officials in other states.

On Sunday, UK health officials issued a warning about a possible link between COVID-19 and serious inflammatory disease in children, after at least a dozen children with the coronavirus there developed secondary illness and shock.

Thoughts? Is this something to be concerned about, or is this an effort to generate more fear? They don't give many details in this story.

Check the party affiliation of those doctors. And determine
if they’re doctors of basket weaving or medicine.

Everything is caused by covid-19. This is just more shaking of the bogie man stick to condition the peasants to follow instructions and give up their freedoms without question.

Thoughts?
****************
NBC alarmist propaganda, most likely. Scared? If yes, mission accomplished.

The U. K. admits it was just a dozen children?

Good grief.

Reminds me of a letter a young man got from his mom in another state.
“START WORRYING! More details next letter!”

Here’s why this story is out there. Does anyone know how many COVID-19 deaths there were in NYC in people 17 and under WITHOUT preexisting conditions? ZERO. There were 6 with preexisting conditions. There are 1.1 million children in the NYC Public School System. They need to justify keeping the schools closed. PERIOD

Weak details/data in this article...but, of course, NBC runs with it. Conversely, all HCQ stories are “anecdotal” and are dismissed by the media.

Just something to counter the fact that “it is not affecting young people”. Now, we certainly have to lock down everyone, “think of the children”.

As it came from NBC, it is dubious at best

I live here and have read a lot about it.

It’s VERY RARE but the connection seems logical and very legit.

Again, it’s VERY rare.

AND there is treatment for it.

So it’s all good.

Looked like scarlet fever. I don’t know much about scarlet fever, except what it feels like to have it.

Heard of Acute Flaccid Myelitis ‘the condition coincides with seasonal respiratory illnesses’.
