it's the same thing that you you mentioned earlier in terms of like fear of long-term disease um it you should see what Missy looks like up close I mean this so-called multi-system inflammatory disease in children which is is is not uncommon and and they all tell the same story a very similar story which is that they had an incidental infection something that was picked up often because a family member or friend got sick and so then they had they were tested to be PCR positive but were asymptomatic a month later they come now to our house with high fever um involvement of heart liver lung kidney um you know heart enzymes spilling out into the bloodstream with high fever and and their PCR negative and their antibody positive I mean their immune system has been uh induced to make it an inflammatory response against themselves I think primarily against the cells that line vessels and so so this is a largely a vasculitis and because every organ in your body has a blood supply virtually every organ can be affected it's pretty frightening to see and do I think that some of these kids are going to have long-term problems I absolutely do for the same reason Kawasaki's did that I mean also another multi-system inflammatory disease that could cause you know long-term heart problems I think that is likely to be true here
