      Emergency physicians (EPs) have played a critical role in the response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While public health efforts (e.g., statewide stay-at-home orders) had initially flattened the curve [1], COVID-19 spread in the U.S. has once again begun to accelerate. On October 23, 2020, the U.S. reached a new pandemic record of 83,010 daily cases [1], and all signs point toward an impending “second wave” or “third surge.” Given the association between advanced age and COVID-19 severity [2], our objective was to compare the geographic distribution of U.S.

      The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has not appeared to affect children as severely as adults. However, approximately 1 month after the COVID-19 peak in New York City in April 2020, cases of children with prolonged fevers abruptly developing inflammatory shock-like states have been reported in Western Europe and the United States. This case series describes four previously healthy children with COVID-19 infection confirmed by serologic antibody testing, but negative by nasopharyngeal RT-PCR swab, presenting to the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) with prolonged fever (5 or more days) and abrupt onset of hemodynamic instability with elevated serologic inflammatory markers and cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α).
