A group of U.S. doctors have warned that Covid-19 can cause heart damage and failure in children after a 2-month-old infant, who was Covid-positive, was admitted to hospital with symptoms similar to those seen in adults experiencing heart problems from the disease. The infant, who was admitted to the hospital after choking and turning blue while eating, tested positive for Covid-19, though they had not displayed typical signs of the illness like a cough or fever.
Tests on the infant, who is unnamed and was not believed to have any underlying health conditions, revealed that the virus behind Covid-19 was responsible for heart damage, which led to heart failure and being put on a ventilator. Fortunately, the child recovered, regained normal heart function and did not require heart failure medications, the doctorsthis type of reversible heart injury is similar to the heart-related issues that some adults with Covid-19 experience.
While Sharma is referring to four specific case reports of adults suffering acute heart problems, early studies suggest that between 20% and 30% of adults with Covid-19 may have heart issues. Sharma encourages “testing for Covid-19 in children presenting with signs and symptoms of heart failure” while “we learn more about the impact of this virus.”"Most children with Covid-19 are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, but our case shows the potential for reversible myocardial injury in infants,” Sharma said, stressing the need for better Covid-19 testing in children displaying symptoms.

We had 5 million Beach Tourist and a full Summer of normality and guess what, nothing? This is a threat to the very old who are sick already. EVERY CDC statistic will tell you that. Sick of explaining that to idiots to lazy to look at data. When I was a child I learned that other people were more important than me. My parents didn't tell me this with words, but by example.
