A shocking photograph shows a “fun and energetic” 13-year-old girl battling the after-effect of a suspected coronavirus infection.
Grace Havens, 13, from Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, was rushed to hospital when she developed a rash following days of severe pain.
The teenager was diagnosed with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP), which causes small blood vessels in the skin, joints, intestines, and kidneys to become inflamed and bleed.
This has been likened to the rare but life-threatening Kawasaki disease, with similar symptoms appearing in a small handful of children with the coronavirus.
Grace’s mother Rachel Havens, 47, is adamant her daughter developed HSP as a result of the virus, however, it is unclear if the teenager ever had the infection.
Early research suggests the coronavirus is mild in four out of five cases, however, it can trigger a respiratory disease called COVID-19.
Speaking of her daughter’s deterioration, Havens said: “I personally believe COVID-19 is responsible for the severity of it.”
The mother-of-three and her husband Justin, 52, are awaiting the result of a blood test that should reveal if Grace has antibodies against the coronavirus.
Antibodies are immune-fighting proteins that circulate in the bloodstream after an individual has overcome an infection.
If the person encounters the same virus again, their immune system ramps up production of these “memory” antibodies, preventing the infection taking hold for a second time.
Testing positive for antibodies would indicate Grace has had the coronavirus, however, false positives may occur.
Speaking of the blood test, Havens said: “It won’t change anything for Grace. At the end of the day, I believe she had it, but it’s not going to change anything because we are where we are.
“I think what’s happening is children are getting coronavirus mildly, but it’s triggering this extra awful inflammatory syndrome in them.”
The vast majority of coronavirus complications worldwide are occurring in the elderly or those with health issues. Children tend to have mild symptoms or none at all.
Coronavirus: A ‘number of children randomly but severely affected’
Grace came home from school on 28 February complaining of abdominal pain and a fever.
After two visits to the GP, Grace was sent to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital’s children’s centre with suspected appendicitis – when the appendix becomes inflamed, or peritonitis – swelling of the membrane that lines the inner abdominal wall.
Finding no cause for concern, doctors sent Grace home.
The teenager was rushed back to hospital on 5 March when she developed a rash.
She spent the next four weeks on morphine and fentanyl as medics tried to ease her discomfort.
After losing a stone (14lb), Grace was fed both nasally and intravenously.
Blood was later discovered in her faeces, prompting doctors to transfer her to the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, where she stayed for three weeks.
As if she had not endured enough, Grace went on to develop crescentic nephritis. The severe kidney inflammation can cause the organs to lose function in days.
Thankfully, the teenager pulled through and is home with her family.
Her mother, an event planner, is speaking out to raise awareness of the dangers of the coronavirus in young people.
“While we are told the majority of children will be unharmed by [the infection], there appear to be a number who are randomly but severely affected,” she said.
“This is why I felt we should share our daughter’s story, with the aim of raising awareness in the hope that as science progresses, less lives will be affected.”
Coronavirus: Inflammation occurring in some children
HSP typically causes a purple rash, particularly on the lower body.
Some patients also develop abdominal and joint pain.
In rare cases, severe kidney damage can occur.
Although unclear, HSP is thought to come about due to an over-reaction of the immune system to an infection.
NHS doctors have been told to look out for signs of “multi-system inflammation” after intensive care units in London saw eight children with unusual symptoms, some of whom tested positive for the coronavirus.
Medics likened the mysterious inflammation to Kawasaki disease.
This is a rare condition that usually affects children under five and causes blood vessels to become inflamed, leading to heart complications in about a quarter (25%) of patients.
Left untreated, the complications can be fatal in 2% to 3% of youngsters.
Symptoms usually include fever, rash, red eyes, dry or cracked lips, swollen lymph nodes, and redness on the palms and soles of the feet.
Experts have warned these symptoms are a sign the body is overwhelmed as it tries to fight an infection.
Coronavirus: Should parents be concerned by the inflammatory disorder?
Overall, children who have caught the coronavirus have been relatively unaffected.
People under 18 made up just 2% of cases reported in a large UK study.
Speaking at a recent Science Media Centre briefing, Professor Russell Viner – president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health – estimated between 75 and 100 youngsters across the country have been admitted to hospital with the Kawasaki-like disease.
“The total numbers of children who get this syndrome are very small,” he said.
“Around 5,000 children die tragically each year. Some of these are premature babies, but 160 to 170 die in car crashes. Those deaths are tragic but also rare.
“How do we manage those? We buy child seats, we use seat belts, we sometimes buy better cars; but we don’t stop driving.
“This syndrome is much, much more rare than car accidents involving children.
“It should not stop parents sending their children back to school when schools are ready to re-open.
“What parents do need, however, is knowledge and understanding so they know what to look out for”.
As of 27 April, NHS England knew of fewer than 20 cases where an association between the coronavirus and the Kawasaki-like condition had been noted by doctors, the BBC reported.
It issued an urgent alert to GPs to be aware of the condition, but stressed no link had been established with the coronavirus.
Professor Alastair Sutcliffe, from University College London, previously said: “There is apparently a small risk but no grounds for panic.”

]]>A New York police officer has been stripped of his gun and badge and placed on desk duty after shocking video emerged showing him beating up a man over an alleged social distancing violation.
On Saturday, several plainclothes NYPD cops broke up a group of people ignoring social distancing orders and dragged a man to the ground and arrested him in the East Village on Avenue D and 9th Street around 5pm.
Two minutes after the arrest bystanders began to shout and decry the force used by police , prompting Officer Francisco Garcia to threaten the crowd with a stun gun and shout ‘Get back. Get the f**k back’, according to the New York Post.
Donni Wright, 33, was a part of that crowd and shouted ‘He didn’t even do nothing’ in shock over the cops’ earlier arrest.
‘What you flexing for? Don’t flex,’ Garcia, wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, Yankees cap and a belt showing his officer’s badge, replied before punching Wright in the head.
On Saturday around 5pm NYPD plainclothes officers broke up a group of people violating social distancing orders in Manhattan’s East Village. The outrage and protest of bystanders led to the arrest of 33-year-old Donni Wright
In that social distancing arrest officers were seen bringing a man to the ground and arresting him
Two minutes after that arrest bystanders began to shout and decry the police’s use of force, prompting Officer Francisco Garcia (above) to threaten the crowd with a stun gun and shout ‘Get back. Get the f**k back’
Donni Wright, 33, was a part of that crowd and shouted ‘He didn’t even do nothing’ in shock over the cops’ earlier arrest, leading Garcia to punch him and knock him to the ground
The cop punched Wright repeatedly and forced him to the ground. He dragged him onto the sidewalk where he was placed in handcuffs by another officer.
The sudden beatdown led distressed people in the area to scream and shout even more, but Garcia yelled back ‘That’s right!’
Some of these officers at the scene, including Garcia, were notably not wearing protective masks, which is required to be worn by law enforcement.
Wright was arrested on charges of assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. The charges have been deferred pending further investigation, a Manhattan District Attorney’s Office spokesperson said.
Video footage of the confrontation was shared on NYC Scanner’s Twitter page where it racked up more than 72,000 views and sparked outrage over excessive police force.
‘The behavior I saw in that video is simply not acceptable,’ Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted Sunday.
‘Saw the video from the Lower East Side and was really disturbed by it. The officer involved has been placed on modified duty and an investigation has begun,’ he said.
Garcia hit Wright several times and dragged him onto the sidewalk and distressed onlookers screamed for him to stop
Garcia was seen putting his knees on Wright’s head and neck during the brutal arrest. Wright was arrested for assault on a police officer and resisting arrest but the charges have been deferred pending further investigation
The incident is being investigated by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau and Garcia has been placed on modified duty
‘It started out as a social distancing enforcement,’ Commissioner Dermot Shea on Sunday. ‘I am aware of the video that’s out there.’
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Mary Frances O’Donnell said Wright ‘took a fighting stance against the officer’ when ordered to disperse.
The incident is being investigated by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau and Garcia has been placed on desk duty.
The manner of Wright’s arrest appeared to echo that of 20-year-old Fitzroy Gayle, who was seen on bystander video pleading for help as several officers wrestled him into submission on a Brooklyn sidewalk in early March.
Mayor Bill de Blasio condemned the incident saying: ‘Saw the video from the Lower East Side and was really disturbed by it. The officer involved has been placed on modified duty and an investigation has begun’
De Blasio assigned 1,000 officers to social distancing patrols over the weekend as temperatures reached the high 70s
Under the instructions of Mayor Bill de Blasio, NYPD officers set out on foot, bicycles and in cars to break up crowds and remind those enjoying the weather of public health restrictions requiring they keep 6 feet away from others
Jennvine Wong, a lawyer with the Legal Aid Society’s Cop Accountability Project, said footage of the arrests Saturday stood in sharp contrast to photos and video — including some tweeted out by the police department — showing officers in crowded city parks handing out face masks and gently reminding people to stay 6 feet apart.
‘This certainly isn’t the first time and this isn’t even the first time in this pandemic that we’ve seen evidence of discriminatory policing by the NYPD,’ Wong said.
The police department assigned 1,000 officers to social distancing patrols over the weekend as temperatures reached the high 70s.
On Saturday, they issued 51 summonses, including 43 in city parks. At a news conference Sunday, Shea said he was aware of just three arrests.
