Varying symptoms of Pediatric Inflammat New York
Varying symptoms of Pediatric Inflammatory Syndrome
Many children are suffering from COVID-19, and it is observed that the number of children with pediatric multi-system inflammatory disease is increasing; although the symptoms differ.
Three cases have been analysed in detail wherein three children of 8, 12, and 14 years have differently developed this lethal inflammatory illness. All three children have nearly escaped death, and they all had antibodies for COVID-19, but they were unaware.
First case: 8-year old Jayden Hardowar
As per 23rd April reports, Jayden was healthy and involved in singing, LEGO’s as well as remote learning. But that night he suffered from 103-degree fever and thus, his parents took him to a paediatrician for a personal visit, who asked them to take Jayden home and supervise Tylenol. His father told that at this time, Jayden had no appetite and was thirsty all the time. After two days, his temperature was optimum, but he started suffering from diarrhoea.
The 25th April Telehealth visit helped the paediatrician to note that Jayden was not eating and advised to take Pedialyte. The parents thought that these symptoms were the result of his low diet, but the child went into cardiac arrest. The child’s 15-year old brother Tyron supported with CPR until the ambulance reached. He has recovered but still very weak.
Second Case: 12-year old Jissel Rosario from New Jersey
Jissel experienced pain in her upper thigh one morning and her mom, Alma Cruz thought that this was because she might have slept wrong. Cruz told that she was quite alert about staying indoors to prevent exposure from COVID-19, to leave their Newark apartment. But she took her for an emergency check-up when she observed swelling in Jissel’s thigh. In the next few days, the 12-year old’s leg became worse, and the prescribed medications were not working. When her foot began changing colours, her mother took her to the hospital where Ultrasound helped to detect the fatal blood clot in her foot. Jissel was in a critical condition, but it became worse when the clot reached her lung during a process to treat the clot, and she suffered from cardiac arrest. Following the 45-minute CPR, Jissel was assisted with life support.
COVID-19 could not be confirmed as the reason for the blood clot as she was tested negative for COVID-19, but she tested positive for this virus’ antibodies. This suggests that she had suffered from the pandemic, but she recovered. According to the paediatrician, a similar pattern is observed in many corona cases wherein it is believed that due to the overreaction of the immune system, there is inflammation in the blood vessels that develops after the infection with the virus.
Dr James Schneider of Cohen Children’s Hospital informed that inflammation could lead to such clots, and the coronavirus infections can also be related to abnormal clotting.
Third case: 14-year old Jack McMorrow from Queens
Jack observed a strange rash on his hands, and this rash began spreading from the palm to the wrist. The teen did not experience any underlying conditions, but after three days, he developed a sore throat, and his temperature was 101.8. His paediatrician recommended amoxicillin as he suspected this to be a bacterial infection, but Jack’s condition became worse.
Jack tested negative for COVID-19 and Mononucleosis, and by night, he felt acute pain from head to toe, his temperature rose to 104.7, and the size of the lymph node in his chest increased. His heart rate increased, and blood pressure levels decreased. In the ICU, he was treated with steroids, and he tested positive for Corona antibodies. Eventually, he recovered.

Voters getting frustrated on voter fraud allegations due to vote-by-mail procedure
Some voters got frustrated due to the voter fraud allegations in Paterson in this week's vote-by-mail city council election and are raising voice against Gov. Phil Murphy, who implemented the plan of the election.
This week, Councilman Luis Velez said that if the corruption cases continue to grow, Gov. Phil should consider cancelling the elections and organize a new vote this summer.
The governor said there are no plans to change the rules of the election and said," I don't have any specific insights on Tuesday in Paterson. It is clearly something we are looking at. My guess is with some fullness of time, and we'll have more to tell on that."
There are reports that hundreds of votes were allegedly found bundled and stuffed in a single mailbox in Haledon. According to postal workers, they also saw hundreds of other vote-by-mail ballots in mailboxes around the city. A video released on social media showed a voter mailing many votes. Such videos and incidents would raise a question if there were any organized effort by one campaign to steal the election.
"He (Gov. Murphy) has now placed us in a position where we are being cheated out of our votes," said community activist Ernest Rucker.

The warning for severe storms was in effect all through the evening for Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, and Westchester counties in New York, along with Fairfield County in Connecticut. The wind speeds reached 60 mph, which crossed through Carmel, New York, and across state lines into Danbury. Many trees were knocked down and power lines in Putnam and Ulster.
The storm first entered into the region at around 5 p.m., and the affected the weather of the city and coastal area in the night. The effects included some rain and far weaker isolated thunderstorms passing through Friday into Saturday.
The storm was a result of muggy humidity and soaring temperatures in the region last days.

and transit workers
Vulnerable populations, residents in long-term care facilities, individuals in the corrections
system, individuals in homeless shelters, patients in psychiatric hospitals and seasonal farm
workers will be of top priority.
This testing plan will include mobile testing units and soon testing sites may open at churches
and mosques as well.
