At this point if you can keep you’re children at home, please do. Homeschooling is the best thing for children in America right now. Its just so unsafe
We have this going around in tx … abdominal pain and vomiting for 48 hrs. Nothing is able to be kept down. The hospital Dr told us it’s been going around and it’s extremely contagious. I believe in the 80s, they had something similar .. the norovirus. Not sure if it came back or a mutation of it.
My 7 year old passed away last month, around midnight of the 12th. All the symptoms they mentioned happened and it only lasted one day! He was a bit off on Friday, he didn’t want to eat much and was tired. Saturday he went down hill very fast and had what appeared to be a seizure. We went by ambulance to the hospital and hours later he had tachycardia followed by extreme bradycardia. His heart had massive amounts of fluid around it and the walls of his heart were thickened. The only test that came back positive was influenza-A H1. The doctor suspected encephalitis but that was ruled out. They did an autopsy and determined he had myocarditis – a viral infection that made it to his heart that essentially made his body turn against his heart. The doctor assured me he was not in pain as the oxygen supply was too low and even when they thought he may experience pain with the heart paddles they gave him pain medicine. They attempted CPR for an hour and a half but couldn’t put him on ecmo because he had already experienced something similar when he was 3 and his neck veins couldn’t handle more trauma. When he was 3 they suspected myocarditis from parainfluenza-3 but didn’t biopsy his heart because he was doing ok after they got him on ecmo. I’m rambling I’m sorry. I feel terrible this family had to experience the same/similar hurt.
I will never ever be the same. I feel like my life was taken when he went to be with the Lord. I love him more than life itself and going on without him feels very empty. I am pushing forward with the help of prayer.
I don’t think this is something new out there. After speaking with many top cardiologists, I think viruses are getting better at how they trick the body into things like myocarditis. We should not live in fear. Over half the school my son attended was out sick near or around the time he passed away. (I work in the office there, I know why they were out, not just hear say.) And none of the other children died. Some were hospitalized for one day here and there but that was from dehydration.
I am so sorry for your loss *hugs* ❤
Thank you for sharing your story. And I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss 😢
So very sorry for your loss, so heartbreaking
Big hugs to you! I can’t even imagine! So sorry for you!
Sorry about the loss of her. Was she vaccinated? How many people around her that are vaccinated? How many immigrants are in her school that have cross the borders that have not had any vaccinations Like tuberculosis ?
The same thing happened to me in Middle School an old friend of mine died from a mystery illness. They shut the whole school down to clean it. 😢 R.i.p David Tripp 💔
Bird flu?
Evil monsters are actively murdering your children.
You obediently walk then down tbe alter of Molach
Legionnaires?
U know the new covid variant often has very high fever.
MAY OUR ALL POWERFUL GOD NOW INTERVENE TO UTTERLY REVEAL AND NOW UTTERLY REVOKE ALL SICKNESSES (&) CORRUPTIONS AT THEIR CORE ROOTS!!!!! AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!
Was she jabbed
Another virus fabricated ?
Live in Texas my 3rd graders was hit hard last week out of nowhere with these same symptoms.💯..she came home from school and stared 🤢 vomitting..high fever..lethargic..diarrhea…it lasted 3 days ! I kept fever reducer in her..cool wipe down..pedialyte and Gatorade..and I let her SLEEEEP for 2 days straight she slept then by the 3rd day the water broke and she had a littel appetite🙏🏽..she bounced back..Whatever this is ….I do believe it came from school
Schools are known hot spots for transmission of well everything. My kid brought home so many gems.
how don’t they know what it is??? Fishy
Pray for them. Hope they can solve what’s happening.

Silverlining of covid outbreak is how fast we respond to this, like a wakeup call so we dont end up in anymore lockdowns.. i get the lockdowns are nessisary if it comes that far but honestly i dont want to get to that point again.. we must repspond with utmost urgency D:
Condolences to the family and friends.
Vaccinate your children against the flu!
THE LAST OF US IT HAS BEGUN…… but all jokes aside this is scary my prayers and thoughts to the families and friends of this poor kid! ❤taken to soon….
Let’s see the Biden administration has funded and hid the proof of covid origin, now all of a sudden a new deadly virus pops up , seems odd that this happening right after so many mass shooting
here we go again. give us a break, God. give us a break.
Cause they’re nasty. Bad hygiene
a moment of silence😮😮😮😮 Yall better shut these schools down now
Rip young soul. Just last week my nephew was running a fever that was scary and wouldn’t go away. We took him to the hospital, waited for 5 hours!! All they did was take his temp, and then give him some medicine and tried to send him out. No diagnosis no nothing. Just worried about getting the billing information. Can’t even trust these hospitals… they don’t care about these kids… luckily we went off on them and they took him in and checked him out.
The fact that most low income schools, neighborhoods are built on or near toxic areas isn’t shocking, it aligns with a usual Colonial tactics, germ warfare.
Crazy the hospital couldnt save her just like how they couldnt save us from covid-19 🤦🏻♂️
They want us to live in constant feat and we’re letting them have it their way 🤦♂️
So… did she get a covid shot?
Mold anyone???
Where was Bill Gates 😂
Sooo…did these kids have the vaccine that the government has been pushing? Has anyone considered that possibility? 🤔We still don’t exactly how it will affect adults or our youth in the upcoming years. May you rest in peace, princess.
It wouldn’t just be happening in one area then.
School boards too focused on indoctrinating children into becoming trannies. Hopefully they can put and end to this illness. (both illnesses we can only hope.)
Instead of passing judgment on people or stupid assumptions…just how about just be kind as many children are sick and 1 has died…For Christ’s sake just be nice…
There is no room for conspiracy theories and lack of compassion when children are involved….
Prayers ❤️
A B C s of salvation:
[A] you’re a sinner. (Romans 3:23 KJV)
[B] Believe that Jesus was the only begotten Son of God, died on the cross to pay for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV)
[C] Confess that Jesus is Lord / call upon his name. (Romans 10:9 KJV) (Romans 10:13 KJV)
The ‘ABCs of salvation’ are simply the message of salvation put in the form of a generalized, easy to follow, step by step guide. I encourage you to read the listed verses (and many more) for yourself and seek out your own personal relationship with God.
Are the children being poisoned?
🙏🙏 To all.
_it begins_
Maybe long CoVid
PRAY OVER YOUR CHILDREN EVERY MORNING,NOON&NIGHT
Lead poisoning I bet
My sincerest condolences! 😢
May I be the first to say dur hur, derp de nerp, were they vaccinated, hurp de durp nerp durr

This kind of news don’t help me when my kids is about to start pre-k
Jabby

I was thinking maybe it was meningitis. So sad for what the little girl went through. 😞
It could be something in the food
My condolences to this little ones family. Sounds like some sort of contamination any new cleaning products? Or lunch trays? Kids at these ages still put many things in their mouths.
This is murder for profit at the hands of the American government and the American Pharmaceutical Chemical Warfare for profit agenda!
Why else would they have more chemical weapons labs than any other country on Earth?!
The worlds greatest enemy is quickly being unveiled as the United States of America!
😡🤬
😡🤬
Poor child 🥲RIP
I just heard about new covid mutation again we just seem going in circle ⭕️
Hold every parent responsible. Charge them with involuntary child slaughter. We will see this root cause investigated. It starts at home! Lets crack down on these brain dead American parents
If we have another pandemic, I’m jumping off the empire state building.
Sooo how contagious? Didn’t hear?
They will call it captain trips…
jesus christ please we dont need another one
Wow sounds like what my 8yr old and 1yr old suffered from almost two weeks ago. My 1yr old had it worse. The gastroenterologist felt it was noro virus. My 8yr old have extreme pains for a week and the 1yr old was dehydrated, lethargic, vomiting every hour it was horrible. Rest in peace to that poor beautiful soul
The same people voting for this are the ones being hurt the most. Funny how bleak and low the scum on the left are selling our country out for handouts from government.
Sounds more like a poisoning
May God bless this family. This article continues to be posted alerting parents. I’ve read this article like 2-3 times. Parents be alert. It’s so sad you can’t work, go to malls, send your kids to school, can’t eat…My God!
Cases of rare brain infection have spiked in Southern Nevada, prompting a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigation, the agency said.
A news release, which initially surfaced on January 12, highlights an increased incidence of “intracranial abscesses in pediatric patients” in southern Nevada in 2022. According to the report, 17 cases of the ailment were identified in patients under 18 in 2022.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Taryn Bragg told CNN that a considerable increase in cases seen after March 2022 had triggered the alert.
“It’s something we’re going to continue watching this year to see what happens with the trends in our county. And hopefully, by sharing this information, other health departments can look into things as well,” said Jessica Penney, Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to CBS News Thursday.
Penney told CBS News that the symptoms of intracranial abscesses can range from changes in mental status to seizures. “In terms of symptoms, they can initially be very subtle for those presenting, which is sometimes why there is a little bit of a delay in diagnosis,” said Penney.
According to the CDC, parents should seek medical care immediately if children have a severe headache, changes in personality or behavior, confusion or irritability, seizures, changes in speech such as slurring, weakness on one side of the body, changes in vision like blurring or double vision, or a stiff neck or back.
Good ways to avoid spreading diseases include washing hands often, avoiding sick people, covering coughs and sneezes, and avoiding contact with eyes, nose, and mouth, said CDC representatives.

This is absolutely terrible.. 😢 What’s wrong with this country. We pride ourselves on being the best in the world but we’re actually the worst.
Could it be meningitis?
That is what killed my 8 month old Grandchild.It happened in a day.Not any severe symptoms. It was 25 years ago.
Who was out of the country in Tanzania or around that area? That’s what I would check first
What do all these kids have in common they went to 2 different schools in Detroit it has to be something that was in the lunches that were distributed by the district
The schools are a petri dish of germs. Flus, viruses, strep, coughs, colds, pink eye, stomach bugs etc. Parents do not keep their sick kids home because they cant miss work.
Here we go again 😷
If we continue to allow unchecked migration from underdeveloped countries while the ones that have found a way to become “legal” here travel to Haiti, China, India etc multiple times a year without anyone screening them on arrival and checking them for things there is no way to avoid and of course they are carriers of. Most people probably aren’t aware in order to visit alot of these third worlds countries you have to get multiple vaccinations and treatments prior to even stepping foot in these countries but travelers can just hop a plane and come back a week later with every disease under the sun.
What have they sent on us this time 😢
Are these the symptoms of the killer antibiotic resistant black fungus??
1:36. *STOP IT. WE’RE ALREADY WATCHING*
vqccine is to blame.
If this is the same thing happening in California having brain fever its been linked to the vaccines 😢
Uh ohh… 🥴😔😔
I have my theories 😑
This is so sad . I pray they find what it is . This isnt normal and I wish it isnt a new pandemi.
Rader
It is crazy that people are creating more viruses and targeting children. I would suggest checking in with N,CBI and NIH. They have to know something about this.
Oh….Kids that didn’t get their childhood vaccine during covid. Hib vaccine is on the schedule. These little kids were due when America was shut down
My whole family went through some kind of stomache bug last week. Vomit and diarrhea, my oldest kept thinking he had to fart and ran out of boxers. Even my 23month old was projectile vomiting. Luckily, that one seemed the least affected energy wise. I gave him only water, bread, crackers and sleep for that day. We didnt feel feverish or hot either.
please dont be like covid
Rest in Peace Sad!
yall mfers nasty af
🥺 I’m so sorry to hear this.. Having three children myself I couldn’t imagine. Love and my thoughts are with all involved!
They need to check the cafeteria and all water faucets
this is just like plague inc lol
Poor babies.
That’s so sad! Both my daughters had the same exact symptoms but thank Jesus they recovered
They need to close those schools until they figure this out so more children don’t get it.
this is terrifying!! holy crap!!!
A moment of silence will fix everything 🤦🏻♂️
Children get outbreaks too we have to be careful and vigilant. Poor babies, modern children have much lower immunity
I already guessed it was a meningitis.
Home school please.
The first mothers look familiar and I think I saw her in other video.
Democrats unleashed a new strain of illnesses it seems.
