A child has died from that mysterious liver disease outbreak. Still no idea what is causing it.

There have been 169 cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin so far. One hypothesis is it is an adenovirus, as 74 cases were infected with an adenovirus, but investigations are still ongoing. 17 of the children required liver transplants.

It is unlikely to be related to the coronavirus as only 20 cases were infected by the coronavirus. And it isn't related to the coronavirus vaccine as the kids weren't vaccinated.
