WEBVTT

00:01.575 --> 00:04.079
THAT THEY CAN TRACK IT AND BEGIN

00:04.114 --> 00:05.020
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS

00:05.055 --> 00:05.531
ILLNESS.

00:05.565 --> 00:08.549
THIS MORNING THE CDC GIVING

00:08.550 --> 00:10.577
DOCTORS A CRITICAL CHECKLIST.

00:10.578 --> 00:12.334
SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR A SYNDROME

00:12.335 --> 00:13.876
IDENTIFIED IN A GROWING NUMBER

00:13.878 --> 00:15.770
OF CHILDREN OVER THE LAST

00:15.772 --> 00:17.144
SEVERAL WEEKS.

00:17.145 --> 00:19.160
FEVER, INFLAMMATION, AT LEAST

00:19.161 --> 00:24.064
TWO ORGANS IMPACTED AND A

00:24.065 --> 00:25.861
POSITIVE TEST FOR COVID-19,

00:25.862 --> 00:27.962
ANTIBODIES OR COVID EXPOSURE

00:27.996 --> 00:30.623
BEFORE THE ON SET OF SYMPTOMS,

00:30.657 --> 00:32.735
SYMPTOMS WHICH ARE DESCRIBED AS

00:32.736 --> 00:34.526
SIMILAR TO KAWASAKI DISEASE

00:34.527 --> 00:37.035
WHICH INCLUDES RASH, RED EYES OR

00:37.036 --> 00:38.994
TONGUE AND ABDOMINAL PAIN.

00:38.995 --> 00:40.368
IT’S RARE BUT POTENTIALLY

00:40.370 --> 00:41.304
DEADLY.

00:41.305 --> 00:44.134
THREE CHILDREN AGES FIVE, SEVEN

00:44.168 --> 00:46.256
AND 18 HAVE DIED.

00:46.290 --> 00:49.015
CDC SAID IT’S NOT CLEAR IF

00:49.016 --> 00:51.306
ADULTS CAN HAVE THE SAME

00:51.308 --> 00:52.649
RESPONSE WEEKS AFTER A COVID

00:52.683 --> 00:53.017
INFECTION.

00:53.051 --> 00:55.065
BUT OVER 135 CASES IN CHILDREN

00:55.100 --> 00:57.390
HAVE NOW BEEN REPORTED OVER AT

00:57.424 --> 00:58.546
LEAST 19 STATES IN WASHINGTON,

00:58.547 --> 00:59.275
D.C.

00:59.276 --> 01:02.133
THE VAST MAJORITY IN NEW YORK

01:02.167 --> 01:03.599
WHERE CORONAVIRUS CASES PEAKED

01:03.633 --> 01:05.130
ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO.

01:05.131 --> 01:06.777
DR. JEFFREY BURNS HAS BEEN

01:06.778 --> 01:08.327
STUDYING THE SYNDROME WITH MORE

01:08.362 --> 01:09.902
THAN 1,000 DOCTORS.

01:09.936 --> 01:12.764
>> WE HAVEN’T YET BEEN ABLE TO

01:12.765 --> 01:13.891
ESTABLISH WHAT THE DIRECT LINK

01:13.926 --> 01:14.395
IS.

01:14.396 --> 01:17.581
>> HE SAYS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE

01:17.616 --> 01:18.650
MULTISYSTEM INFLAMMATORY SYSTEM

01:18.651 --> 01:20.471
FOUR TO SIX WEEKS AFTER

01:20.472 --> 01:21.662
CORONAVIRUS SPIKES IN A GIVEN

01:21.664 --> 01:22.176
COMMUNITY.

01:22.178 --> 01:25.034
>> IT’S NOT LIKE COVID-19, THE

01:25.035 --> 01:26.225
CHILDREN ARE NOT ACTIVELY

01:26.226 --> 01:27.924
INFECTED WITH THE VIRUS.

01:27.958 --> 01:29.400
THAT’S NOT WHAT WE BELIEVE THIS

01:29.401 --> 01:29.798
IS.

01:29.832 --> 01:31.724
IT’S NOT LIKE COVID-19 IN THE

01:31.758 --> 01:33.470
SENSE THAT WE’RE STILL WAITING

01:33.505 --> 01:35.620
TREATMENT TO STUDY.

01:35.621 --> 01:37.484
>> 4-YEAR-OLD AMELIA TESTED

01:37.518 --> 01:38.719
NEGATIVE FOR COVID TWICE.

01:38.753 --> 01:41.458
BUT WHEN SHE WAS RUSHED TO THE

01:41.492 --> 01:43.825
HOSPITAL IN SEVERE PAIN, SHE

01:43.859 --> 01:45.417
FINALLY TESTED POSITIVE FOR

01:45.418 --> 01:46.286
COVID ANTIBODIES.

01:46.287 --> 01:49.650
>> WE ALL HAVE THEM, TOO, MY

01:49.651 --> 01:50.797
3-YEAR-OLD, MYSELF AND MY

01:50.832 --> 01:51.259
HUSBAND.

01:51.261 --> 01:53.369
>> AMELIA ENDED UP ON A

01:53.370 --> 01:54.532
VENTILATOR BUT RESPONDED WELL TO

01:54.533 --> 01:54.895
TREATMENT.

01:54.929 --> 01:58.361
>> WE HAVE TREATMENT TO GIVE

01:58.363 --> 01:59.867
CHILDREN WITH INFLAMMATORY

01:59.868 --> 02:00.121
SYMPTOMS IF THEY DEVELOP THIS
