A mysterious disease spreads across the United States

This news is reported only by the regional press. Moreover, the
latest news came from a local publication in Hebrew, since the
incident happened in a network of local Jewish religious schools.
It is possible that the problem is much broader, but only the Jews
paid attention to this, and all the other school doctors are happy
to enroll patients to Covid-19 in order to receive salary increases.
In this case, the "non Covid-19" epidemic serious.
On December 9, 2021, about 50 students from various Jewish
schools were unable to attend classes, being bedridden with high
fever. Lakewood, New Jersey is home to approximately 100,000
people and the entire Jewish community is 5%, that is, about 5,000
people. Of these, 100 fell ill, which gives 2000 cases for the entire
city. This is 2% of the population and quite a lot. According to the
first fragmentary information, the disease is similar to meningitis
and is highly contagious. If 50 people get sick at the same time.
A total of 100 young people were infected. Symptoms of the infection
are similar to COVID-19, however, it appears that all 100+ students
test negative for COVID-19. There is currently no definitive
diagnosis. The first publication to report this issue on December
15 was The Lakewood Scoop (https://bit.ly/3yR5vqZ).
