One thing that continues to puzzle people is the multiinflammatory syndrome where kids kind of get that certain kind of rash when theyve been exposed to covid. Can you talk about how thats manifesting itself . Sure. A couple of things. Youre right. Its called misc. The fascinating thing is were only about four weeks into learning about this disease. It first came up in the United Kingdom and italy where reports of kids with fever and rash and some got very, very sick over a short period of time. Right about four weeks after the adult peak.

The party has refused to confirm, or deny, reports that the donor has reportedly given more money to the party, than was known public
