What starts with "C" and can end in Death?
I really wonder what the fuck is going on American government health orgs. I get the sense the CDC functions more like a part of a Biden/Dem PR team. Connecting stuff to covid is bad so they try very hard not to do it.
For a while the CDC said that the mysterious acute hepatitis condition in children was related to dogs. As in family pets. But then they quietly stopped mentioning that. I wonder if that's covid related.
I can't be arsed to look into it further, but all articles with this doctor are basically copy-pastes, and no "reputable" source has yet covered this. Didn't find any mention of there being an uptick, nor what even prompted this discussion at all.
The doctor in question, having just finished their PhD research into SADS, could have just been trying to get herself in a newspaper (getting published is what it's all about in academics, even just mentions) after which other journalists from lesser newspapers (again, the only ones who have this far written on this) don't do their due diligence and quickly post an article about scary medical thing that will get people to click.
It's the process of manufacturing consent which Herman & Chomsky described , but on a small scale, basically.
As this is a mystery, you have carte blanche to blame it on your personal bugbear.
While I know you used carte blanche the right way here, for some reason I was reminded of the guy Nick Mullen worked with at GameStop who would say shit like “uh I’d like to forte these games over here”
Heart conditions can go undetected when the person is otherwise healthy. Stories pop up all the time where a student athlete, perhaps a football player or track runner, randomly has a heart attack on the field and dies. For example they may have had an abnormally large heart which can cause electrical problems leading to possibly fatal arrhythmia if no one has a defibrillator. This sort of problem would be easily detected on an echocardiogram, but sadly not everyone has one done if there isn't a prior need.
This article doesn't say (unless I missed it?) that they experienced a sudden uptick in such cases, but if so then it would be a good idea to explore the connection with covid.
The hypochondriac part of me reading this comment right now is like :scared:
I mean nothing I haven't heard before, but yeah
I would get screened every year in my teenage years due to family history, and every year the results come back good, ie normal. But even now my paranoid ass might feel a skipped beat and just assume that's the end for me :stress:
