Over the week, Summit County officials confirmed the first case of multisystem inflamatory syndrome among a resident child.
The syndrome is a condition that has shown to be connected to COVID-19 and results in the inflammation of various parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, kidney, brain, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal tract, Public Health Director Amy Wineland said at a Board of Health meeting on Thursday, Jan. 28.
The syndrome only appears in children and officials haven’t identified an exact cause, Wineland said. However, children who are diagnosed with it have often been previously diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been around someone, such as a parent, who tested positive for the virus.
Weasely and contradictory phrases in these few sentences.
- Summit County officials
Who are these officials? Why should I trust what you or they say? In what field of medical science are these 'officials' occupied? Do they even work in the medical field? Are they competent?
- a condition that has shown to be connected to COVID-19
Shown by whom, exactly? What is that 'connection'? A bad reaction to wearing masks would be "connected to COVID-19".
- officials haven’t identified an exact cause
But it has shown to be connected to COVID-19. But we don't know the cause. Stop asking questions.
- children... diagnosed with it have often been previously diagnosed with COVID-19... have been around...who tested positive for the virus.
1 The word "often" is often used in order to obfuscate, just like the word "many". The word provides no information about the number of incidences or their percentage in the group of people ("children") they refer to. It sure sounds like a lot but it's subjective to the speaker's view as all hell.
2 "confirmed the first case" and "children...have often been previously diagnosed" The first phrase says that there's one case. One. One child in a year of COVID disease in all of summit county.
The second one creates the impression that there are several cases. They can't be cases in Summit County since there's only one the one. Where else in the country have these children been diagnosed with this new syndrome?
As an aside: Who puts two typos into the three words "multisystem inflamatory syndrome"? (Should be "multi-system inflammatory...") Edit: multisystem seems to be the accepted spelling. Might also be that every one is copying from a single source? Google Ngram Viewer curiously only has data up to 2019.

Just as the CDC suggested, Colorado has been counting ANY death that occurred within 30 days of a positive diagnosis as a COVID death. There was a double homicide (murder-suicide) in Grand County that they counted as COVID Deaths. That doubled the number of COVID deaths in the county, the Coroner had to raise a big stink to get those removed from the data. Here’s a link to the story: https://www.skyhinews.com/news/coroner-state-included-a-murder-suicide-in-grands-covid-deaths/ Now ANY disease or syndrome is being attributed to COVID, it’s just bullocks to get the public so worked up about it that they lose all sense and cease to behave rationally.
Our flu season is non-existent, and no one will talk about why that might be, except to say that it’s all the precautions we’re taking (masks, shutdowns). However, we’re told the numbers are rising and we should wear 4 masks now. If a single, flimsy mask stopped all flu and cold transmission, why didn’t it stop COVID? They’re viruses, spread in the EXACT same way, so why do the precautions work for flu and not COVID? I think everyone here knows the answer, but it infuriates me that most people don’t.

Great. So I need to pull my kids out of school again? Wonderful.

It sounds like an autoimmune response, but everything is now labeled COVID.
