Coronavirus News (80)

Man-made antibody 'neutralizes' coronavirus for first time, study shows "This antibody will be useful for development of antigen detection tests and serological assays targeting SARS-CoV-2. Neutralizing antibodies can alter the course of infection in the infected host supporting virus clearance or protect an uninfected host that is exposed to the virus. Hence, this antibody – either alone or in combination – offers the potential to prevent and/or treat COVID-19, and possibly also other future emerging diseases in humans caused by viruses from the Sarbecovirus subgenus." ........ As of Tuesday morning, more than 3.6 million coronavirus cases have been diagnosed worldwide, more than 1.18 million of which are in the U.S., the most impacted country on the planet.

Mutant coronavirus strain more dominant worldwide, possibly more infectious a new strain found three months ago appears to have been spreading across the world and become dominant in the pandemic. ....... it may be even more contagious than the original strain found in China as well as many of the strains originally found in Italy ........ a so-called SPIKE protein that enables the virus to infect humans. ...... "The mutation Spike D614G is of urgent concern; it began spreading in Europe in early February, and when introduced to new regions it rapidly becomes the dominant form" ........ there are 62 vaccine approaches being developed for the new coronavirus.

If the virus is significantly mutating, vaccines developed for a previous strain might not work.

...... "It's a very, very dynamic situation. There's still so much we need to learn from the pandemic." .......

"Until we have a vaccine, no one is safe"

... if the virus continues to circulate through the summer, it could continue to mutate, a problem in a world with little immunity and no vaccine.


15 NYC Children Sickened With Rare COVID-Related Illness — Here Are The Warning Signs The city's health department may only be recognizing severe cases at this point, but one doctor familiar with the illness believes there will be many more to come ....... New York City has identified more than a dozen children in city hospitals who have a rare illness connected to COVID-19 — and at least one expert believes there are sure to be more ...... The pediatric multi-syndrome inflammatory syndrome has been observed in 15 children who were hospitalized from April 17 to May 1 in the city ....... features of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock have been seen in patients between the ages of 2 and 15, as well as days-long fevers and inflammation. ....... Four of the 15 children tested positive for COVID-19, and six tested positive for the coronavirus antibodies, signifying a previous infection. ........ "This is happening all through Europe" ........ "It is definitely happening in various cities on the East Coast and in some parts of the Midwest." ......

the illness may come as a "post-immune reaction to COVID," meaning the body seemingly overcompensates and essentially keeps fighting a disease that is no longer attacking the body — possibly even weeks after having contracted a virus like COVID-19.

........ We're learning more every day about how COVID-19 affects the body. This is a ferocious disease." ...... So what are the symptoms of pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome? ...... all 15 children had a fever, and more than half reported having rashes, abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea. While it has been considered a direct symptom of COVID-19, less than half of the pediatric patients in the city displayed any shortness of breath. ..... Any child that shows symptoms relating to Kawasaki disease or toxic shock syndrome should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible, as the health department said early recognition and a pediatrician's referral to a specialist are essential, including admission to critical care units if necessary. Beginning treatment quickly can help prevent end-organ damage and other long-term problems ........

any parent who finds their child to have a high fever and "seems unwell" should call their pediatrician and seek medical attention.

...... symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and a low-grade fever. Others presented first with a rash, conjunctivitis, and/or cracked lips .........

One child who had gone to Cohen Children's Hospital is 8-year-old Jayden Hardowar, who was seemingly healthy before he suddenly went into cardiac arrest one evening.

........ His mother said she noticed something was very wrong when she was sitting in bed with the child, and saw her son's head and hands twisted in an unorthodox position backward. ....... "I quickly looked over at his face and his lips were all blue at that point, so right away I knew something was not right here with Jayden," Navita Hardowar said. She started yelling his name, but he was not responding. The boy's brother and father performed CPR, and soon he was rushed to Jamaica Hospital before being rushed to Cohen Children's Hospital in Nassau County. ....... In Jayden's case, it took just five days for an overall healthy boy to go from playing games and singing to requiring a machine to help him breathe for several days, unable to speak to his parents who tried to video chat with him from his hospital bed. His parents said he has inflammation and suffered from cardiac arrest and heart failure. .......

Dad Roup still isn't sure how how his son could've contracted the virus. "None of us — six of us in the home: two adults, four kids — none of us had been sick. We've all been very strong and practicing our social distancing very diligently ... we thought we were safe," he said.

......

COVID does not spare any age group and can lead to very serious illness, even in kids

...... the new cases appear to disprove the previous notion that coronavirus "wasn't really affecting kids."
