The United States has now recorded 11 cases of unexplained hepatitis in children, as the global toll hits 169 and the first death is registered — with doctors warning Covid may be behind the spate of illnesses.

 

North Carolina has detected two cases in school-age children, on top of the nine spotted among under-6s in Alabama since October. Health officials say both have recovered, and did not need liver transplants.

 

Doctors are not yet sure what is triggering the outbreak, although Covid is yet to be ruled out as a possible cause of the inflammatory liver disease.

 

In Israel, 11 of the 12 sick children tested positive for the virus in the last year. In Britain — which was first to detect the outbreak — scientists are still considering Covid as a possible cause. It is the second most common virus patients test positive for, behind adenovirus which is often behind the common cold.

 

Dr Muge Cevik, an infectious diseases expert at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, said today: 'Acute severe hepatitis has not been a common feature of Covid in children, so it's less likely to explain this presentation.

 

'Adenovirus [Common cold virus] was detected in 40 of 53 cases, but not all cases are tested. Adenovirus testing has been inconsistent in other samples, and it's too early to confirm characterization. It's important for all countries to share their data once available.'

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) today reported the 'acute hepatitis of unknown origin' has led to 17 liver transplants. A total of 20 cases tested positive for Covid, with 19 having a co-infection with both Covid and adenovirus. The other virus has been detected in 74 cases.

 

Cases were detected in children aged one month to 16, the majority of whom have been hospitalized.

 

The unusual illness has also been spotted in Spain, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Norway, Romania and Belgium.

 

UK health officials have ruled out the Covid vaccine as a possible cause, with none of the British cases so far having been vaccinated because of their young age. None of the cases in the US were among vaccinated children either.

is this in america?

 

ANew York traffic enforcement officer this weekend accused an FBI agent of handcuffing him and injuring his shoulder after the agent became angry about getting a ticket.

 

The New York Daily News reports traffic agent Dipankar Dipu says he wrote Kenneth Diu a ticket for parking between a metered spot and a bus stop.

 

“I can’t say what made him react so unprofessionally,” Dipu told the Daily News. “I was just doing my job. Why he assaulted me and humiliated me in front of people, I don’t know. I’m just suffering as a result.”

 

Dipu said the FBI agent’s vehicle had tinted windows and he could not see that someone was sitting inside. He placed a ticket on the windshield. That’s when Diu came out and demanded he void the citation.

 

Dipu said he would not have written the ticket if he had known Diu was an FBI agent on a stakeout.

 

“He was very arrogant,” said Dipu, who is from Bangladesh. “He became angry with me, yelling at me to ‘Void the ticket! Void the ticket! You have to void the ticket!’”

 

Dipu told Diu that wasn’t possible, but advised him to speak with his supervisor.

 

Dipu said Diu grabbed the machine from him, locked himself in his car, and somehow managed to void his own ticket.

 

“He just pushed me forcefully on the bonnet of his car and put both of my hands behind my back forcefully,” Dipu said. “It was just so humiliating. People were looking all around and I could hear people talking about me. I felt so down at the time.”

 

Police showed up and everyone went to a nearby precinct where Diu paid the ticket.

 

The FBI declined to comment. The NYPD said the investigation is ongoing.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A Bladen County man who was the key player in a North Carolina absentee-ballot fraud case that led to a new congressional election, has died, his family announced.

 

Leslie McCrae Dowless, of Bladenboro, who died Sunday, pleaded guilty to theft of government property and Social Security fraud last summer.

 

Dowless was still facing state charges involving the 2016 and 2018 elections. He was accused of directing people to collect incomplete absentee ballots in a congressional race and making it appear that the voters had finished them.

 

Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman, who was working on the case against Dowless, expressed her “condolences” to his family Sunday afternoon.

 

Below is her full statement:

 

“The charges against Mr. Dowless will be dismissed. Unfortunately, Covid created a delay in the handling of this case like with many others. We had set a trial date of August and Mr. Dowless was entitled to the presumption of innocence through his day in court. There remain about six others charged related to this matter and we will be moving forward with those cases with the understanding that the State's position was always that Mr. Dowless was the principal actor in coordinating the ballot process in question.”

Harris appeared to get the most votes in the November 2018 race, but the State Board of Elections ordered a new election. Harris did not run in the subsequent race, which was won by his successor as the GOP nominee, Dan Bishop. No charges were filed against Harris.

 

At the time, Dowless’s attorney Drew Sprague told Superior Court Judge Keith Gregory he was concerned about meeting trial deadlines because of Dowless’ medical condition. Dowless, who arrived in court using a cane, had a mini-stroke, and he had learned some spots on his lung may be cancer, Sprague said.

 

DeLancy, who saw Dowless last week, said Dowless “wanted the chance to defend himself against the state’s indictments” and rejected the plea deal “in hopes of being given his day in court.”

 

Dowless was “a man who was quick to trust and even love others by his acts of service,” DeLancy said in a text message.
