NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) - Children or young people who get COVID-19 in most cases don’t have severe symptoms or are asymptomatic. But in rare cases, there’s a COVID-related condition that could cause serious complications, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children or MIS-C. "Two of the four deaths that we've had from the syndrome in Louisiana were preciously health kids, who did not have underlying health conditions," said Dr. Joseph Kanter of the Louisiana Department of Health and Office of Public Health.
Kanter says the syndrome has been found to impact coronavirus patients who are younger than 21-years-old. He says the person develops MIS-C signs weeks after getting the COVID-19. “They got exposed to COVID19, some of them got sick,” Kanter said. “Recovered from that and then a lot of them showed MIS-C signs a few weeks later. Which is interesting and we don’t have a good explanation to it.” Health professionals admit there are many unknowns with the syndrome, “it can cause very serious illness,” Kanter said. “It can put kids in the ICU and it can cause death, like we’ve seen in Louisiana.”
Organs can become inflamed. Kanter says in older teenagers it can cause heart failure.
“This is not something subtle so the same things that would make a child of any age look sick,” said Dr. Leron Finger, Chief Quality Officer for Children’s Hospital New Orleans. “These are not sort of healthy children that get diagnosed with MIS-C they look ill and they look ill enough that you would want to take them to the hospital for evaluation that’s how sick they look.”
Health professionals stress most children recover and they don’t believe the syndrome itself is contagious. Kanter says the best way to stay ahead of it is by following all COVID-19 guidelines.
“For anyone that doubts the severity of this, we have every reason to be precarious and take as many vigilant actions as possible,” said Kanter. “Playing it safe is really the best thing to do for anyone’s family.”
just heard a report that said “2 of the 44 deaths nationwide didn’t have underlying conditions”

I wonder if they ever heard that correlation is not causation.
This occurs weeks after recovery. Gee, could it be that there is something else at work here?
Sounds like some kind of autoimmune disease. Wonder if these children recently received vaccinations? For that matter, wonder how many seniors who succumbed to covid due to cytokine storm received an annual flu vaccine, more particularly the high-dose version given only to those above 65 years of age?
Close the Quarter, no bars, no partaaaas, no nutin.
Keep the kids safe! ABOLISH SCHOOL! They don’t teach them much anyway.
This condition is associated with things other than covid as well. It is generally treatable when recognized in time and unfortunately results in a few deaths per year. I’m. it sure this year is any different
A Syndrome? Four kids, a SYNDROME?
Pure B.S.
Are you saying receiving flu vaccine enhances recovery or makes recovery more difficult with respect to covid-19?
If they closed every public school in the Nation. In Three months the National IQ average would be up 50 points.
That they could detect
Also a complication of flu and other viral diseases
Treatable

In the past few days here in Austin, on the cusp of school starting, the reports of kids dying has dominated the local news. ..... Prior to this, virtually no reports of kids dying. .... The TX teachers association is pushing this meme. ... My guess.
Yet the teachers want to get paid, no school taxes to be paid unless they go back to work
Similar diseases to this, causes have always been unknown .
Sounds anecdotal to me.
Actually not “saying” anything. Just speculating that since these conditions are a result of a hyperactive immune system, and the purpose of a vaccine is to stimulate immune activity, is it possible that a vaccine could trigger the conditions that cause the very symptoms that put lives at risk?
In addition, with regards to the high dose vaccine which would increase the amount of the hyperactivity, could it be a contributing factor to the increased morbidity of the elderly?
Hmmm, no underlying health problems? It must have been substandard care.
