Obesity, race play roles in severe COVID-19 illness among kids

The study will analyze, in part, biomarkers found in blood samples taken from children with COVID-19, so scientists can determine how the virus impacts young people, as well as which ones might be most at risk.

The main goal of the project is to learn more about one of the most severe COVID-19 complications among kids: multisystem inflammatory syndrome, or MIS-C.William Lantry, 10, of Pittsburgh, who was diagnosed with MIS-C in June had no idea he'd even been infected with the coronavirus. "It didn't really feel like I had been sick," William said, but added that the day his mother took him to the hospital, his neck pain stretched from his head down his shoulder, and he was vomiting.

Because of poverty lol

How this is possible? Does covid19 “reads” genes Could it be true? Unusual thing for a virus 🤨 except.....if is planned to act like this. Where are the scientists to answer now?

COVID must be racist.

Racist virus!!

Perhaps the Chinese designer of this virus was a racist...

STOP PUSHING THIS FEMININE BLACK BOY IMAGE ON PEOPLE

The rest of the studying SARS2 ‘race plays no part’. The US liberal academics ‘after excluding all white people we can clearly see SARS2 only infects black and brown people’. So racism is clearly the real plague. 🤦‍♂️

COVID-19 CCPVirus MAN MADE CCP VIRUS ‼️‼️‼️

While they don't consider obesity an underlying health condition.

Stop adding that high fructose corn syrup garbage in the food chain and you'll see a dramatic improvement.

Finally, race data about covid.

Why does the virus attack them more than the rest of America. Pleas tell the whole story.

Of course, let's ignore the real reason minorities are more affected: They are obese because of their poor diets!

NEWS FLASH; As long as you keep splitting society, there will always be a 1st and last. Duh.

The AVERAGE age of death from COVID is 75. It is not a threat to 0-65, and healthy. That sounds cold, but it is fact. So why is the Nation shut down? It is a LIE.

They should follow the guidelines.

OBESITY DOES

... and Trump intentionally drags his feet and pretends magic will make it go away so he doesn't have to deal with it. Call it what it is. It's genocide, . Trump is committing genocide on blue states and black and brown communities to please his disgusting followers.

Racism is literally everywhere

🙄

I didn’t read the article but I’m guessing it’s because most of them are lower income therefore lower education so they probably won’t abide to Covid rules like most ppl and most black communities are very tight and communal so it’s easier to spread. Missing anything?

SHUT UP WITH THAT

The same way it is always played into every negative consequence to viruses from swine flu, to enterovirus, to adenovirus, to this virus. Thanks for finally catching up, NBC.

Finally...ur talking about this...but it’s OBESITY OF ALL RACES AND ALL DEMACRAPHICS...OBESITY IS STAGGERING IN THE USA AND KILLING PPL AND THE HEALTH CARE SYDTEM...START PROMOTING THE ADVERSE IMPACT OF OBESITY ...DONT BE SHY ABOUT IT...OUR FATNESS IS REFLECTED IN COVID DATA

Amid Covid-19, NYC Teachers Union Says City Must Do More for Safe ReopeningThe head of New York City’s teacher’s union is stepping up pressure on Mayor Bill De Blasio, saying the city’s plan for reopening schools falls short of safeguards needed to protect students and school staff amid the coronavirus pandemic. 👀 This impasse is very easy to solve for a city negotiator with spine. (Chicagoans have none representing them.) CLOSE the schools. DECERTIFY the unions. FUNDtheParents DerelictMayor Li'l Lori Teacher unions are also arguing that concerns about the health and safety of educators and staff are being left out of the debate. This is simply not true. Why is it other professions such as nurses and those on the front lines are made to go back to work but teachers are exempt?
