[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder why just NY?  I get that they had crazy numbers, but has this happened to children infected anywhere else?  In the US or other nations?[/quote]

NY has the European strain whereas the west coast had the original, less-virulent Chinese strain to start.  Although apparently the European strain is slowly taking over everywhere since it's more infectious.

These kids aren't suffering from respiratory problems as much as from systemic inflammation.  It may take longer for the virus to manifest these symptoms.  So you catch the virus, your body clears it, then a few weeks later the inflammation attacks the heart or kidneys.  This would align with what my relatives who are CC MDs in Long Island are telling me, that the virus is as much inflammatory as it is respiratory, which leads to a lot of serious, chronic complications (i.e. renal failure).

Those are just some ideas.  But nobody knows for sure yet.  It does make me think that reopening K-12 in Sept is asking for a disaster to happen.
