I can’t post the thread for this, but it is shared over on FR Facebook.

Cincinnati admitted 540 kids last weekend with this virus.

From the link: "The virus is similar to what doctors treat during cold and flu season. That means nothing really changes if a child comes down with the rare virus, he said.

Admitted a record number of patients, but nothing really changes?

Do I detect a total cognitive disconnect, there?

Also from the same link you posted:

Wheeler said parents can prevent their children from getting the virus by making them wash their hands frequently and drink plenty of fluids. If they do suspect their child contracted the virus, he suggested parents call their pediatrician first because urgent care facilities will be busy.

But "...nothing really changes"...
