“Watching one’s child strike out on their own is bittersweet for most parents. For those of us who spent every waking hour helping our sons or daughters acclimate to a neurotypical world, it’s particularly heartbreaking and terrifying,” writes @LorraineAli latimes.com/entertainment-…

Kids do get #COVID19
Kids can be #Asymptomatic or #Atypical.
Kids can have a mild infection, or get #PIMS
Kids can get #LongCovid

2000 kids NOT yet better.
Families disbelieved.

⚠️Contains graphic images.

longcovidkids.org #MothersDay
The numbers of children with #LongCovid are rising with every #COVID19 infection.

⚠️1 in 8 primary age children will get Long Covid
⚠️1 in 7 secondary age children will get Long Covid.

It appears to makes no difference if a child has a pre-existing condition or not.
Tragically children can die.

Thankfully the numbers are low compared with adults.

Every family that has lost a child will be devastated, the fact the numbers are low will have no bearing on their grief.

You're on call and open a chest CT for a patient with suspected #COVID19.

How do you interpret and report the imaging findings?

A #TWEETORIAL of the @Radiology_RSNA Expert Consensus Statement on Reporting Chest CT Findings Related to COVID-19

🔑KEY POINT:

☝️First, it’s important to note that routine screening chest CT for identification of #COVID19 is NOT currently recommended by most professional organizations.

1/ I would like to take a few minutes to review increased risk of heart diseases in South Asians (if you are from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan or Sri Lanka – this is you!). @globalsouthAsians @SouthAsianAnd @BrownGirlMag @SouthAsians4USA @masala_study
2/ South asians experience ischemic heart disease at a younger age, and at a higher rate. In the event, we do develop ischemic heart disease, we are more likely to die from it. Increased risk of heart disease attributable to higher prevalence of diabetes and high cholesterol.
3/ CT heart images show variable blood flow, greater obstruction, increased calcification and smaller luminal diameters in South Asians, predisposing to increased mean % obstruction of blood flow and higher prevalence of multi- vessel disease, unlikely to be treated with stents.
