I think you should put the absolute numbers in these tweets. Most people won’t read the paper and learn that the syndrome is actually very very very rare, and not even always associated with COVID. Four tragic deaths total in two months in a a pretty wide surveillance network.

Replying to @zeynep @AbraarKaran
Every death is terrible, of course, and more so when it is children, but most people don't have the correct denominator to interpret this stuff. IIRC we have ~160 pediatric deaths from flu already? Children mercifully spared (yet

) compared to so many other viral diseases.
