What worries me more is that they're saying they aren't from COVID seems it would be an easier thing to say yes they it is...them saying it's not has me thinking what the hell are they hiding now.
From what I heard this morning it seems to be caused by a mycoplasma (bacterial) infection that happens to be having a surge right now, combined with people (including little kids) having weakened immune systems due to having had covid. Covid is like AIDS in very often not causing severe illness in its own right, but rather, opening the way to other infections by suppressing the immune system. It should not be trifled with.
