This article is fear porn.
Kawasaki disease is well understood. It affects a very small number of children, mostly under 5, each year and can occur in response to many viruses, seemingly including covid-19. It is well understood, eminently treateable and curable, and has no lasting effects.
The article didn’t say the kids had Kawasaki disease just that the symptoms share those of Kawasaki disease. While there are treatments for Kawasaki disease these kids are suffering from Covid-19.
That's not true either. Of the kids who had these symptoms, some had covid-19, some had had covid-19 but no longer had it, and some hadn't had it at all. There is zero reason to believe that this is anything other than Kawasaki disease unless you're trying to sell newspapers of course.
Except for the fact that it's not.

Games? No.
The rest? Perhaps, either online or in small groups.

Why don’t the rules apply to private training and private tryouts?

You may see some controlled scrimmages in the phase/stage before that, but this will be something like a zone-based game where kids have an cone-defined area they can't leave and move the ball around those zones or something weird.
Their phases dont equal hogans

The article may be fear porn, but this post is misinformed.
The KD we are seeing post-COVID also has elements of Toxic Shock Syndrome and Macrophage Activation Syndrome. These kids are MUCH sicker than the standard KD patient (most are requiring PICU-level care, which is uncommon in KD) and skew older (elementary & middle-school aged), and they are NOT responding to the common KD treatments of IVIG and high-dose ASA.
The number of KD patients still represents a small proportion of the population and thus should not necessarily impact the decision to return to play; however, it is incorrect to say that this condition is "eminently treateable (sp) and curable"
Thanks for this distinction. This is why they gave it a different name.

Everything depends on the local government now. So, some parts of MD may hit Phase 2 by mid-June to July,but not all.

So the experts say when school starts up, there is alway a big spike(flu, whatever). Look at how hard it is to open up major professional sports. I really want there to be a fall season but it is not looking good. Contact youth sports will be one of the last things to open.

Is it safe to assume, if clubs in your area are giving back refunds or credits, that spring season is not happening?
I think you two are speaking of different things. Most travel is still holding out and haven’t given spring updates and considering summer. Most rec programs have cancelled and are coming up with refund or credit plans.
