    Indonesia says three children have died from hepatitis amid global outbreak of mysterious liver disease — ‘bringing total death toll to four’

    Additional reporting in publications:

    Their symptoms included nausea, vomiting, heavy diarrhea, fever, jaundice, seizures and loss of consciousness — all tell-tale signs of the deadly liver disease.

    Tests are underway to confirm their cause of death. Indonesia has not officially logged any cases of hepatitis since the outbreak began. 

    The ages of the children have not been revealed and it is not clear if they had underlying health conditions.

    CBS reporting:

    “At the moment, the Health Ministry is investigating the cause of the acute hepatitis by running a full panel of virus tests,” it said.

    The ministry also called on parents to immediately take their children to hospital if they showed any sign of the symptoms.

    The emergence of a possible new disease afflicting only young children — most are under the age of 10 with no underlying conditions — has sent ripples of concern through a global health community already grappling with COVID-19.

    The WHO said that, in Britain, there was an “unexpected significant increase” in cases among young, previously healthy children, as well as in Ireland and the Netherlands.

    Old McDonald’s bag AND fries found in a wall!!

    On April 16, Rob and Gracie Jones were doing work on their 1959 Crystal Lake home, located about 50 miles northwest of Chicago.

    Suddenly, they found a decades-old McDonald’s bag behind one wall.

    “Rob was in the bathroom replacing the old toilet paper fixture,” Gracie told CNN Wednesday, “As he pulled the fixture out, he noticed a rolled up piece of cloth bunched up inside the wall.”

    The couple had no idea they were about to discover decades-old fast food, CNN reported.

    “At this point we’re both looking at each other wondering if we’d be calling the police because we just uncovered evidence from a crime scene!” Gracie said, “We were very relieved to have just found the old McDonald’s bag.”

    “Twitter, Inc. today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.

    Under the terms of the agreement, Twitter stockholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter common stock that they own upon closing of the proposed transaction. The purchase price represents a 38% premium to Twitter’s closing stock price on April 1, 2022, which was the last trading day before Mr. Musk disclosed his approximately 9% stake in Twitter.

    Bret Taylor, Twitter’s Independent Board Chair, said, “The Twitter Board conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing. The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter’s stockholders.”

    “It is not yet clear if there has been an increase in hepatitis cases, or an increase in awareness of hepatitis cases that occur at the expected rate but go undetected,” the WHO said in a statement. “While adenovirus is a possible hypothesis, investigations are ongoing for the causative agent.”

    The WHO said the investigation into the cause needs to focus on factors such as “increased susceptibility amongst young children following a lower level of circulation of adenovirus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential emergence of a novel adenovirus, as well as SARS-CoV-2 co-infection.”..
