[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now it’s 85 cases...[/quote] So there are over 3,000 cases of Kawasaki syndrome diagnosed in the US every year. Did you know that? Though the exact cause is not known, the prevalent theory is that it is related to respiratory viral infection. Why are none of these news reports mentioning that? This isn't a giant mystery.[/quote] Yes, but you usually don't see 85 cases coming in over the span of a week, even if you were to look at all of New York. 3000 cases / 52 weeks means an average-ish (there are seasonal clusters) means an average of about 58 cases per week for the entire country. NY state has 6% of the US population. NYC has just 2.5%. I hope you can see why this is causing grave concerns amongst the pediatric professional groups. I mean, you can minimize it all you want or need to, but that doesn't make this any less troubling, if you understand how this type of disease works. [/quote]
