JUST IN—After seemingly recovering from #COVID19, a 16-year old boy has just died after diagnosed with post-COVID pediatric inflammatory multi-system syndrome (PIMS). Doctors now say “we are seeing a rise in PIMS in recent weeks”. The boy was unvaccinated.
jpost.com/breaking-news/…
2) At another hospital, a six-month-old baby was hospitalized in critical condition from PIMS and connected to an ECMO machine at Sheba Medical Center. The baby's condition deteriorated overnight Friday, and taken into surgery in very serious condition. m.jpost.com/breaking-news/…
3) PIMS is a multi-organ infection. Similar to those of Kawasaki disease – an acute and usually self-limiting vasculitis of the medium caliber vessels, almost exclusively affects children – and toxic shock syndrome – a life-threatening complication of certain bacterial infections
4) The syndrome can affect the heart, digestive, nervous and respiratory systems, and can occur in children who were **symptomatic or asymptomatic** while they had the virus. ⚠️

“I call on everyone to go out and get vaccinated,” the doctor said.
5) a recent 🇮🇱 Health Ministry survey showed that about **11% of children** had symptoms that remained after seemingly recovered from COVID-19. #LongCovidKids

📍survey was conducted among 13,834 parents of children aged 3-18 who had recovered from COVID. m.jpost.com/breaking-news/…
6) Meanwhile in the ICU… this is what doctors and nurses have to listen to all day and night if you end up there without a vaccine.
7) this cartoon is so spot on. Bring on the vaccines for kids. #MaskUp all kids and teachers meantime!
8) Is #COVID19 killing kids? Yes… the CDC data doesn’t lie.
9) Again, we need better masks for adults to better protect kids—mask classification system to make it even easier to read & to simplify the understanding of what each type of mask offers to protect the wearer & those around them. HT @PPEtoheros
10) COVID is now also “ripping through schools” in the UK and around the world. Listen to leading kids advocate @Sandyboots2020… just listen 👂
11) this death sounds very similar to the death of the 16 year old boy from Israel (above) - both died suddenly - yet seemingly after each initially recovered from #COVID19

Watching—Doctors are warning of possible rise in cases of a debilitating nervous-system disorder—likely associated with #LongCovid. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affect autonomic nervous system that controls body’s “automatic” functions.
ctvnews.ca/health/coronav…
2) POTS is a form of dysautonomia, an umbrella term for conditions that cause autonomic nervous system to malfunction. The autonomic nervous system controls the body’s “automatic” functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, kidney function, and temperature control.
3) In cases of POTS, specifically, patients’ blood flow is affected and they can experience light-headedness, fainting, chest pains, shortness of breath, and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat after standing up.

Now a top trending killer in kids 5-14: #DeltaVariant.

Surging from near 0% in June to now ~8% of deaths in kids 5-14 are #COVID19 in September.

#MaskUp & #vaccinate when kids vaccines come out.

2) I still cry when I think of those kids who have lost a mother or father or caregiver… may our children forgive us.
3) let’s prevent these damn tragedies. Mass infecting kids is not a valid strategy

So I hired a guy (let’s call him Gus) to paint my house—but Gus is unvaccinated. House is empty—so I hired him & chatted with him daily (w/🪟open) hoping he might consider. Day 3—Gus got #vaccinated this morning—he chose Moderna for lowest breakthroughs. Convince your neighbors!
2) I tried lots of lines of reasonings with him — hospitals are full — help keep hospitals empty for others. They seemed to work. It seems he lives a solitary life and mostly watches TV. So there wasn’t many real people for him to talk to. So some casual conversation eased him in
3) I pulled out my phone and showed him lots of CDC graphs and charts. He at first wanted J&J, which I said was good. But he just wanted to not goto the hospital, which I pointed out Moderna had lowest breakthroughs & higher efficacy than 1-shot J&J against hospitalization: see👇

BATHROOMS. RESTAURANTS. SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. OFFICES. Not just hospitals and clinics. The virus can linger in the air for hours. Forget outdated 6-feet droplet 💧rule. Huge superspreading outbreaks from aerosols have been documented. REPEAT: #COVIDisAirborne - pass it on! #COVID19
2) A single case led to a hospital outbreak - despite the max number of people just being 4. The virus stayed in the air for hours infecting many more people.
3) How is aerosol different from large droplets? aerosol study indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable for many hours. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19

🏳A fuming top #NationalSecurity friend told me—“not having kids vaccine approved yet is like being in a 2-year World War but still having a Federal Bullet Committee casually debating (instead of expediting) if we are ready to send bullets to our troops dying in the trenches!” 🧵
2) This retired top national security friend has served in multiple WH administrations, and handled multiple global crises. He is completely disgusted that the FDA is going to casually wait till the 26th of October to meet.  #YoungBloodOnTheirHands was his suggested hash.
3) How many #COVID19 deaths are children? A lot.

⚠️KIDS & YOUNG ADULT DEATHS—An inconvenient horrible reality of #DeltaVariant is just how many young people are dying— both % deaths where ~8% of deaths in kids 5-14 are #COVID19, plus 10x⬆️ spike of age 15-24 per capita deaths! 👀 #vaccinate  🧵

CDC data—figure by @DrWilliamKu
2) it is horrible. But I say “inconvenient reality” because many governments - from provinces to states around the world are ignoring this in efforts to push “learn to live with the virus”. That is abominable. Kids are not immune to #COVID19, not matter how many pretend it is.
3) 20 kids dying a week is nothing to scoff at.
