New rare illness in children possibly linked to Covid-19 reported in US

[FfFfFfFF 58,066]

New York City’s health department has reported 15 cases of a rare but potentially lethal inflammatory syndrome in children that may be linked to coronavirus infections.

More than 100 cases of the unusual illness have now emerged in at least six countries, with doctors in Britain, the US, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland investigating the condition.

It remains unclear what connection the disease might have to Sars-Cov-2, the coronavirus which causes Covid-19, and has hit New York City particularly hard. All 15 of the children were tested for Covid-19. Ten were negative.

Although children can spread the coronavirus, they are much less likely to contract it, and it has relatively mild effects on them. In its warning about the inflammatory condition, the UK’s Pediatric Intensive Care Society said: “Serious illness as a result of Covid-19 still appears to be a very rare event in children.”

uhhh so theres no evidence of any correlation/causation but the guardian reported on it? this is straight up dangerously bad journalism tbh 

edit: if 10/15 children tested NEGATIVE for Covid there is more basis to say it IS NOT related to Covid than it is.

The echo chamber effect is here to stay 

unlike chrmtca

At least 25% of New York Residents have are contracted COVID19 knowingly or unknowingly. 

These two children testing positive means Absolutely Nothing.

unfortunately, its an epidemic that goes beyond the guardian and the same can be seen from the NYtimes, CNN (with Chris Cuomo's fake quarantine), MSNBC, etc.

Oh I've been saying that for years. The mainstream media has been reporting bogus stories and been promoting fear.

The media has been grossly irresponsible with all of this

”NYC has mass graves!!” they’ve always had those, it’s where unclaimed bodies have always gone

”The virus is mutating!!” yeah that’s literally what viruses have always done and will continue to do forever 

“This new disease could be linked to covid!!” could be, but probably isn’t

This syndrome appears after infection so you’re assumption about what these negative tests mean is incorrect.

 

Evidence is building that this is linked to coronavirus is growing.
