A rare respiratory illness that’s sickened more than a thousand kids in 10 states is likely to spread all across the United States, ABC News reported, citing doctors.

More from ABC News:

The disease hasn’t been officially identified in every state, but in some states a rare respiratory virus called human enterovirus 68 has been found. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is related to the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.

…At least 10 states — Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia — have reported suspected outbreaks of human enterovirus 68 and requested CDC support.

“Viruses don’t tend to respect borders,” ABC News Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said. “It is only 10 states now, but it’s going to be across the country. So if your state doesn’t have it now, watch for it. It’s coming.”

If they don't need ID's to fly, they don't need immunization records to go to school with your kid.

It isn’t a virus.

It’s love.

Love is in the air...

This isn’t just another virus. Enterovirus 68 can cause permanent Polio-like paralysis in arms or legs.

http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2014/02/112176/update-rare-polio-disease-california

“Over the past 18 months, physicians in California have observed on rare occasions what may be a new disease, one in which patients, usually children, quickly and permanently lose muscle function in an arm or leg.

“In some cases, patients have had infectious respiratory symptoms before the paralysis begins. The illness shares some features with polio, but it is not the same disease.”

Notice the media refuses to bring up the chance that this disease came from those illegal alien children..notice the timing of this disease..illegal alien children go to school, spread their crap, infect everyone else..the media knows that if the connection is made here it would be absolutely toxic to Obama

If that’s the case, they will VERY QUICKLY have to squelch it, just as they did when airbags were decapitating kids...the larger cause must be allow to prevail.

Why doesn't The Blaze talk about its likely origins in the illegal aliens Obama shipped around America?

I am just getting over this virus, at least I think that this is the one that I caught here in the Kansas City area. It doesn’t appear to be too bad for healthy adults, but I am avoiding my granddaughter and 9-month pregnant Daughter in Law. It did knock me out of work for three days and I am still in the office playing catch up. May miss some of the Royals Tigers game. bummer.

Some of us are really worried about this.

This is a real threat for loved ones who have purposely suppressed immune systems.

Americans bend over and take ANYTHING dished to them.

Are they willing to sacrifice their own children's health on to the alter of political correctness and fear of being called racist? Sure looks that way.

Bringing in illegals from 3rd world countries without heath checks, has it’s consequences. Americans will suffer. Too bad it won’t reach the White House.

This was also the case last night when the article was posted at about the same time.
