Related: About this forumGov. DeSantis calls children's illness tied to coronavirus 'extremely rare'
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday called a childhood illness tied to COVID-19 extremely rare, despite reports of at least eight confirmed cases in Florida. He also said parents can decide about whether they think their children are potentially at risk.
I think its something parents should consider. It is extremely rare, DeSantis said of the illness known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C. DeSantis, who held a news conference in Jacksonville to announce that he is lifting coronavirus-related restrictions on youth activities, initially deferred questions about MIS-C to Bonnie White, a Ponte Vedra Beach pediatrician who treats his children and appeared at the news conference.
Its my understanding that we havent seen any cases, that Wolfson (Childrens Hospital) is monitoring seven kids for symptoms of it, but as of yesterday they havent had any cases, White said.
But Wolfson Childrens Hospital in Jacksonville confirmed Thursday that it had two patients with cases of MIS-C. Also, Mobeen Rathore, a physician and chief of the University of Floridas Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Immunology who works at the childrens hospital, said 12 patients in the Jacksonville area have been treated at Wolfson since mid-April who are now suspected to have had MIS-C.

(83,746 posts)1. Desantis is a liar.
He wants people to die for the economy. That includes the children. He is a trumper through and through.

Nobody ever mentioned harming the children.
