A 3-year-old British boy died after attempting a dangerous TikTok challenge known as the "blackout challenge." The boy found unresponsive by his mother with a ligature around his neck. Rushed to the hospital, the boy found irreparable brain damage. He never regained consciousness and died after life support removed. The "blackout challenge" encourages users to choke themselves to achieve a euphoric state. At least 82 deaths of youth linked to this challenge, though the trend may started earlier. The rise TikTok and similar platforms spread this dangerous challenge. Why attracted to this game? The choking game involves intentionally trying to asphyxiate oneself to achieve a brief euphoric state or “high.” However,if the asphyxiation caused by self-strangulation prolonged,it can cause death or serious brain injury. Most deaths have occurred among 11-6 years. The CDC found that most victims were alone at the time of injury or death. This disturbing “game” highlights the vulnerability of children and young people to dangerous online challenges and hoaxes, and the need for education around online safety and awareness of risky viral internet challenges.

Although COVID-19 causes predominantly respiratory symptoms, it can affect other organs including the brain, producing neurological symptoms.The lack of access to care during the pandemic has forced patients and doctors to rapidly implement telemedicine. The use of phone videos and smart telemedicine are helping to treat patients during this pandemic and are becoming standard of care. Investment in infrastructure is important to make sure patients can have access to care even during a pandemic.
