I've sat and viewed at least two versions of this story via California regional news.
So....it revolves around this one California family, and a birthday party they held back around two months ago. What the family says (I don't doubt them) is that there's some kid in the group at the party (14-year old boy)....that got Covid.
However, this is not the normal symptom Covid. The family says (even now 2 months later)....this kid is suffering from some sort of psychosis. Now, for the benefit of folks who aren't familiar with psychosis.....typically, you see things which aren't real. Yes, hallucinations.
Typically, most of us who've seen folks in this situation....will say that drugs in some way play a role. But in this case? Covid-19?
The local medical folks? They don't seem to be getting into this situation. Either they don't believe the situation, or they think there is some other cause involved.
So I sat and pondered.
I've had Covid, and other than the fever period where I felt like crap....I didn't have any psychosis. However, my fever never got above 100 (trust me, I checked at least four times a day). Generally however, if you were getting up to 102 or above....you can have a bout of delirium (kids and teenagers are noted in this group a lot).
The problem I see here....if you started to see a trend where teenagers got Covid at a higher rate, and went into some delirium/psychosis stage....it'd beg a lot of questions on length of this period, and how recovery goes.
