Talk to your kids. They think they are immortal and invensible. These seems like a stupid thing to do to me, but kids don’t have the same knowledge and understanding. Protect them with knowledge and wisdom. My heart and prayers go out to this family.

For the depth of our memory banks. We taught CPR skills to so many kids using this song. I wish this website, Be the Beat, was still available.

This is life saving information from our favorite Pediatric ER Doctor: Dr. Alson Inaba-PLEASE SHARE

"School teachers have heard about MIS-C so they asked me how teachers could recognize MIS-C in a child in their classroom.
I told them that cough and respiratory symptoms may NOT be a significant symptom in children with MIS-C (unlike COVID-19 symptoms).😷👧🏼🤧

Since the mortality rate from MIS-C is higher than COVID-19 itself, people need to know what to watch for. 🧐👀🗣

Many of these children were exposed to COVID-19 within 2 weeks and did NOT have any COVID-19 symptoms. Then they present quickly with these symptoms and many of them end up in the ICU in shock.😱

Look for the following FIVE 5️⃣ symptoms and this catchy phrase....

When considering MIS-C....."FEAR-C"‼️
F = Fever 🌡
E = Eyes (red)
A = Abdominal symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
R = Rash
C = Confusion or lethargy

Dr. Inaba thinks this would be an EASY and CATCHY way for non-medical people (and medical people) to look for MIS-C. ❤️🧒🏽👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Keep your children safe! Never hesitate to go to the ER or call 911 when any of these symptoms appear. Better safe that sorry!!!
Here is more information from the CDC
