This is going to terrify people just like stories about infant mortality from COVID terrified people. But the article is talking about infections of 1,000 children across 35 countries. These stories shooting to the front page over and over is giving a distorted view of reality that didn’t exist before social media.

- DoingIsLearning 4y ago> talking about infections of 1,000 children across 35 countries. Just to be accurate these are 1000 _reported_ cases, which are likely very _severe_ cases. I have toddler age kids and I am not interely sure I would be able to distinguish this from another high fever infection. Icteric skin is as far as I know not that noticieable in these cases. So, from a parents perspective, other than slightly whiter poop, without a physician and/or lab work, it would probably just look like one of the other thousands of diseases kids catch in daycare.
