The video discusses acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a polio-like illness in children, which the CDC expects to see an increase in cases between August and November. AFM starts with flu-like symptoms and can lead to severe outcomes like respiratory failure. The CDC is concerned about confusion with COVID-19 symptoms and advises parents to seek medical care promptly if their child shows unusual symptoms. The impact of COVID-19 on AFM cases and healthcare response is uncertain, but vigilance is urged.
