Our son's neurologist told me that she's seeing post-covid strokes and brain injuries in teens and young adults, when "this NEVER happened before the pandemic," and that her cardiologist friends are seeing sudden non-MI cardiac arrests in the same age group.🧵

My kids' pediatrician has also been seeing kids with strokes (along with diabetes, autoimmune conditions, new mental health diagnoses and more) 😬

Continue to hunker down until science has a way(s) to neutralize the significant adverse impacts of this bad virus. We aren't there yet.

I’m a teacher. Anecdotally I had 2 students need appendectomies this year. Previous 24 years teaching: 1.
Worse, caregivers are having strokes/dying at a fast rate.

I've been asking this since the very beginning: what are we inflicting on children? Medical conditions, disability, death -- on them, their families, their caretakers. And for what?
