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.

Reposting it w/ numerical context - don’t want original tweet to send off a frenzy among parents. My “wow” was in reference to how severe it is when it happens; not “wow” as in I’m worried about this happening to most kids.

Thank you! I knew exactly what you meant because I had read the paper yesterday but I've done the same thing a few times (posting percentages, not noting denominator) and got people worried, so I learned!

By the way, speaking of, you know the 2005 HCoVNH paper? https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/191/4/499/937208 … I also wonder if, in a few years, we will find that some of our puzzles will link to prev exposures to other coronaviruses?
