“New-onset psychiatric symptoms directly related to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection are not rare phenomena among pediatric patients. CSF tests support the presence of central immune responses in some patients.
Our patients developed psychiatric symptoms within 2 weeks of virus infection. In a small portion of patients (2/10, 20%), positive findings in CSF (cerebro-spinal fluid) suggest intracranial immune response and disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB).. EEG showed epileptic wave in one child (1/9, 11%) and slow background rhythm or slow wave activities in five children (5/9, 55%).. [Among six children whose cytokine levels in CSF were measured,] one-third (2/6, 33.3%) had increased IL-8 levels, which indicates IL-8 in the central nervous system may be involved in the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 virus-induced psychiatric symptoms. Increased IL-8 levels in CSF have been reported in brain infection and head injury.. We also detected elevated IgG level, albumin quotient, and positive oligoclonal band in the CSF in another two children, which supports the disrupted blood–brain barrier and central autoimmune reaction theory."
“In the most expansive study of its kind, researchers have for the first time shown serious and prevalent symptoms of #LongCovid in kids and teens.
The study, which followed 5367 children, found that 20% of kids (ages 6-11) and 14% of teens met researchers' threshold for LC”
Increased Emergency Department Visits for Children with Long COVID:
The results showed out of 130,010 children diagnosed with COVID-19, 33.6% had at least 1 long COVID-19 symptom. Children with long COVID-19 symptoms had 152% higher odds of ED visits,
“Children infected with Covid at risk of blood vessel damage that can trigger clots, scientists warn
VIRTUALLY all children infected with Covid suffer from serious blood vessel damage, scientists have warned.”
“Far from rare, long COVID in kids is devastating families. Experts say schools can do more to help their students…
…”Schools must make it safe for all children that attend, whether they currently suffer from #LongCovid or not,” Robertson said. “Many children are.. just one more infection away from developing the debilitating effects of long COVID.”
“Children after Covid infection(s) 2 min version I will post a longer version on YouTube What are we doing?”
C02 monitors are mandatory in all Dutch classrooms.
meanwhile in the US: go to school even if sick, even with lice and diarrhea, no need to test for Covid, get truancy notice otherwise and FFS don’t open any windows or bring in air purifiers. masks are banned in many schools. We. Are. Fools.
“teachers are being knocked back to take sick days and expected to work while having Covid.”
“I know Covid in our school is going around and teachers are coughing non stop and still coming in,”
“Earlier that summer, my daughter tested positive for Covid-19 and had developed a high fever, shortness of breath, shivers, and chest pains. She initially regained her energy and by the time school started, I thought she had recovered. I was wrong. That night I found her lying on the couch was the beginning of my daughter’s difficult journey with Long Covid — a journey that transformed her life, and mine as a single mother.”
IMMUNITY DEBT DOES NOT EXIST.
“The severity of respiratory syncytial virus infection in children during the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic: A nationwide study of 11,915 cases in Germany”
“The number of children being hospitalised with asthma attacks triples during the month of September, new data has revealed.
After the start of the new term, the rate increases by 175%, with charity Asthma and Lung UK warning hospital admission rates amongst school children is on the rise and has hit a four year high.”
“We are allowing the HISTORY WE WITNESSED to be rewritten.
I graduated MUN Med 1984. Kids were NOT sick 50 % of the time. My daughter was born 1992 and my step son in 2005. Neither was sick 50% of the time.”
explanation of rise in excess deaths of the young since Covid introduced into circulation:
“In other words, the disease burden of COVID is higher in the young than it is in the old compared to the disease burden of all diseases
Another way of putting it is: Young people don't normally die of disease but when they do die of disease, they die of SARS-CoV-2 infections”
This is the story of 16-year-old Cara who stopped wearing a mask after being bullied at school, bringing COVID home to her immunocompromised mother, who tragically died as a result.
These stories must be told and we must learn from them.
