This virus was generally observed in children rather than adults. But the question remains whether one can let go of such viruses as the public might have ignored the coronavirus when it started.

A child who suffered from Kawasaki disease had a fever, blotchy rash, mild congestion, and cracked lips and couldn’t eat. This disease is to be seen as an overreaction of the Immune system. This can affect lethal cardiac complications. Not long after the medical staff of New York witnessed a hype in the cases of Kawaski.

The city has confirmed 147 new cases since the coronavirus epidemic began. Though the fact of how many children were reported is unknown. Some of the cases that tested for Kawaski as positive also tested positive for coronavirus.
