Children Hospitalized In NYS With Mysterious Shock-Like Illness Jumps To 64
A total of 64 children have now been hospitalized in New York State with a rare, shock-like, life-threatening inflammatory syndrome potentially associated with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), health officials said.
That new number reported Wednesday, May 6 has increased from a total of 15 a day earlier. Those 15 cases were all in New York City. The newly reported 64 cases are statewide.
The mysterious disease, first reported in the United Kingdom and other European countries nearly two weeks ago, is multi-system inflammatory syndrome. Symptoms have been "characterized by persistent fever and features of Kawasaki disease and/or toxic shock syndrome; abdominal symptoms common."
The first 15 children hospitalized "had a subjective or measured fever and more than half reported rash, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea," the NYC health department said. "Respiratory symptoms were reported in less than half of these patients."
Cases are now also being reported in Atlanta, Detroit and the District of Connecticut.
The New York Health Department issued an alert Wednesday afternoon to all healthcare facilities, clinical labs and local health departments in the state to inform providers of the condition as well as to provide testing and reporting guidance.
Any suspected cases of pediatric multi-system inflammatory syndrome in people under the age of 21 must be reported to the State Department of Health.
"Though most children who get COVID-19 experience only mild symptoms, in the United Kingdom, a possible link has also been reported between pediatric COVID-19 and serious inflammatory disease," the health department's alert said. "The inflammatory syndrome has features which overlap with Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome and may occur days to weeks after acute COVID-19 illness.
"It can include persistent fever, abdominal symptoms, rash, and even cardiovascular symptoms requiring intensive care. Early recognition by pediatricians and referral to a specialist including to critical care is essential."
Kawasaki disease (KD) , also known as Kawasaki syndrome or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. It is a rare childhood illness with symptoms including high temperature that lasts for five days or longer, swollen glands in the neck, rashes and redness in the eyes.

Disposable gloves may spread disease, not prevent it, Israel Health Ministry letter says
On Tuesday, Israel's Health Ministry set guidelines regarding the use of disposable gloves to prevent the spread of COVID-19, Israel Hayom reported.
In an internal letter sent by Professor Itamar Grotto and Professor Sigal Sadetsky to hospitals and health funds, the two noted that "use of gloves is not recommended due to the chance that the gloves will be contaminated."
According to them, in a work situation where gloves are required, such as when handling food or during treatments, health care providers should "be strict about switching the gloves often and between each and every client."
The use of disposable gloves by the general public does not provide protection from contamination and may even do the opposite, the experts explained, despite professionals' recommendations.
Israel Hayom noted that the Health Ministry has avoided publishing guidelines for the public on this issue.
Meanwhile, in schools, stores, and other locations, people are using gloves in a way which does not protect against germs, may spread them, and may even contaminate the environment.
The Environmental Protection Ministry's Deputy Director-General Asaf Yazdi turned to Professor Sadetsky, who heads the Health Ministry's Public Health Services, requesting that "guidelines be issued to the public, by the Public Health Services, stating that disposable gloves should no longer be used."
He noted that in addition to the other issues involved, disposable gloves also contaminate the environment.
According to him, people who use disposable gloves do not throw them in the garbage.
Professor Hagai Levine, Chairman of the Israeli Association of Public Health Physicians, "the unnecessary use of gloves by the public may increase the risk of transmission of contamination, including coronavirus, due to the lack of handwashing with soap and water."
The Health Ministry refused to respond to Israel Hayom's request for comment.

Kiss frontman Simmons learns about Holocaust survivor mother’s ordeal
Kiss frontman Gene Simmons said his mother almost never spoke about her Holocaust ordeal, including time in Nazi camps.
A German newspaper has provided him with plenty more information.
Bild am Sonntag presented the Israel-born rock star with 100 pages of documents about his mother’s ordeal, including her impact statement, to mark the 75th anniversary of her liberation.
Flora Klein, a native of Hungary, was 19 when American troops liberated the Mauthausen camp on May 5, 1945. She died at 93 in the United States.
In her statement to the former Restitution Office in Koblenz, Klein wrote: “In November 1944, I was brought to the Ravensbruck concentration camp. I lived there in block no. 21 and worked in the fields, gathering potatoes outside the camp. I wore old civilian clothes with a white oil (paint) cross painted on the back, in a camp surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by the SS.”
Klein was transferred to the Venusberg subcamp of the Flossenburg concentration camp in January 1945, and arrived at Mauthausen in March that year.
“She was strong,” Simmons told Bild in an interview published Sunday as he read the documents. “She fought all of this on her own.”
He also found his grandmother’s name among the documents. Ester Blau died in the Nazi gas chambers
His mother married a carpenter, Jechiel Weitz, in 1946 and a year later they immigrated to Israel. Simmons was born Chaim Weitz in Haifa in 1949. His parents later divorced and Simmons’ mother brought him to New York in 1958.
Simmons warned that people should not forget the about the Holocaust.
“It can happen again and again. That’s why you have to talk about everything,” he said. “When Jews are advised to no longer wear the kippah on the streets. At least this is being addressed. The same applies to the Muslims. As long as you talk about things, there is a chance. When you see cockroaches in the kitchen, you must point the light at them so you can see them clearly. And you must drive them out of the light.”

Brooklyn Nursing Home Buries Jewish Lady in Catholic Cemetery Holding a Rosary in a $400.00 Dress and in a $5,000.00 Casket
Comedian Elayne Boosler said a Brooklyn nursing home did not notify relatives of her 83-year-old cousin’s death and buried the remains in a Catholic cemetery rather than her Jewish family plot.
Boosler said that a relative had attempted to get in touch last month with Dorothea Buschell, who was staying at the Hamilton Park Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn.
After weeks of failed calls, the relative was allegedly told by the nursing home that Buschell had died, The City reported. Boosler said that she then found out where her cousin had been buried and that the nursing home was asking for $15,000 to cover the cost of the burial.
Boosler, a veteran stand-up, also has appeared on such TV comedies as “The Cosby Show” and “Crazy Ex Girlfriend,” and helped inspire the character of Elaine Benes on “Seinfeld.”
“That’s right folks, they buried my Jewish cousin … IN A CATHOLIC CEMETERY HOLDING A ROSARY,” Boosler wrote in a public Facebook post.

Nazi concentration camp for CHILDREN where they were tortured and experimented on is brought to life in chilling computer visualisation
The horrors of Nazi Germany's only concentration camp for children have been brought to life in harrowing detail as part of a chilling new visualisation.
Researchers from Poland's Institute of National Remembrance painstakingly pieced together the layout of the Preventive Security Police Camp for Polish Youth in Lodz, where hundreds of children were beaten and starved to death during WWII.
They analysed old photographs that revealed the devastating camp conditions and poured over heartbreaking court testimonies from survivors and witness accounts to recreate a detailed and coloured version of the camp.
The interactive map shows dozens of camp buildings, including the morgue where children's bodies were stored, the commandant's office that housed the sadistic Edward August, and filthy accommodation blocks where dozens of children were crammed inside.
The children's concentration camp was established by Hitler's Schutzstaffel (SS) in the city of Lodz, Poland, on the orders of SS chief Heinrich Himler.
Hidden inside the city's Jewish ghetto on Przemysłowa Street, it was the only camp to be established by the Nazis specifically for children in occupied Europe and opened on December 11 1942.
As many as 20,000 children aged between two and 16 years old faced untold horrors inside as they were imprisoned in the camp's horrendous conditions where they were beaten, tortured and starved.
The camp soon became known as 'Little Aushwitz' because of its high death rate and the violence metred out by SS thugs in charge.
The children were isolated from the main ghetto which housed adults by a high wooden fence constructed by Jewish prisoners.

Israeli scientists find antibody that neutralizes coronavirus
In the past two days, the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), has completed a groundbreaking scientific development, determining an antibody that neutralizes the coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), the Defense Ministry announced Tuesday evening.
This scientific breakthrough has three key parameters:
This scientific breakthrough has three key parameters:
1. The antibody is monoclonal, new and refined, and contains an exceptionally low proportion of harmful proteins
2. The institute has demonstrated the ability of the antibody to neutralize the coronavirus
3. The antibody was specifically tested on the aggressive coronavirus
The Defense Ministry stated: "Based on comprehensive scientific publications from around the globe, it appears that the IIBR is the first institution to achieve a scientific breakthrough that meets all three of the aforementioned parameters simultaneously. This is a result of the institute’s great experience and the unique capabilities of its scientists."
The IIBR is currently pursuing a patent for its development, after which it will contact international manufactures.
"It should be emphasized that this scientific achievement has the potential to progress towards a treatment for corona patients, and that it is not a vaccine for wide use. This is an important milestone, which will be followed by a series of complex tests and a process of regulatory approvals. This being said, the scientists at the institute believe that the nature of this breakthrough could lead to a shortening of the process, which could span over several months," the Defense Ministry concluded.
