Eight children were admitted to Seattle Children’s Hospital with acute neurologic illnesses and the State Department of Health is investigating the possibility of acute flaccid myelitis, a rare condition that affects the nervous system.
There are many different causes of AFM. Symptoms typically include sudden weakness in one or more arms or legs, along with loss of muscle tone and decreased or absent reflexes.
The exact cause of AFM is unknown, though many viruses and germs are linked to AFM, including common germs that cause colds and sore throats.
“At this point there isn’t evidence that would point to a single source of illness among these cases,” Dr. Scott Lindquist, state infectious disease epidemiologist said in a health department statement. “However, this investigation is just getting underway and we’re looking at all possibilities as we try to understand what might have contributed to these illnesses.”
The eight children were admitted to the hospital with a range of types and severity of symptoms, but all had a loss of strength or movement in one or more arms or legs.

Yah
It sounds like Polio.
I wonder how many syrian refugees and Illegal Aliens they’ve taken in recently.
scary...
I dont EVER remember reading about neurological disease outbreaks before the mass invasion.
I’m 48. Maybe someone a little older remembers and I’m wrong, but not in my 20 and not in my 30s did I hear or read this stuff.
And women vote for letting their children be paralyzed possibly. that’s what you vote for among other things if you vote for hillary.
Obama certainly did his best to fundamentally transform America.

Acute Flaccid Myelitis | AFM Surveillance
At a Glance
CDC is concerned about AFM, a serious illness that we do not know the cause of or how to prevent it.
CDC is investigating the increase in AFM in 2016. As of August 2016, 50 people in 24 states were confirmed to have AFM.
Even with an increase in cases in 2016, AFM remains a very rare disease (less than one in a million).
While the AFM case count for 2016 is less than the 2014 case count, CDC is concerned about the increase in cases in recent months.
CDC is intensifying efforts to understand the cause and risk factors of AFM.
It’s always important to practice disease prevention steps, like washing your hands, staying up-to-date on vaccines, and protecting yourself from mosquito bites.
Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare illness that anyone can get. It affects a person’s nervous system, specifically the spinal cord. AFM can result from a variety of causes, including viral infections.
Beginning in August 2014, CDC received an increase in reports of people across the United States with AFM for which no cause could be found. Since then, CDC has been actively investigating this illness. We continue to receive reports of sporadic cases of AFM. From January 1 to August 31, 2016, a total of 50 people in 24 states across the country were confirmed to have AFM.

How many are turd world Eats?
Your memory is accurate...
Just got back from seattle tonight. I used uber there all week, every driver had a muslim name except 3 who were eastern block from what I could tell.
Could be parents who don’t have their kids vaccinated.
Are maybe they did all receiving vaccines from same place?
Flu shot? Notice how hard they avoid “Gullian Barre”.
My thought as well...
Yeah, they just all came down with it coincidentally out of the blue from different sources. /s
The fact that eight kids came down with it in an small area, is a pretty damned good indicator that there was a single source.
Now, find out what it is.
Possibly. I was thinking of hippie parents who have read horror stories about their kids dying if they are vaccinated.
I think the cause will be traced back ti by illegals from some tropical area.
What you said is what the CDC pays people 200 grand to say.
Except with me, they get their money’s worth.
It’s enterovirus 68. Mostly causes cold symptoms. Rarely but does cause these polio-like symptoms. The polio virus is not the only one to cause these. This one, any maybe others, cause the flaccid limbs too. Polio was the same, mostly caused just cold like symptoms, but on the rare occasion did cause the paralysis.
It is said, and I believe it and it’s worth it to try, that those with the greatest vitamin D deficiencies have the greater chance of the more serious sequelae from this virus. Permanent paralyzation being the worst.
Keep your family topped up with supplemental D. That is the best known way to prevent this viral paralysis. For real. It could not hurt. If the kids, and you, take a therapeutic dose of vitamin d daily (skip days where most of your body is in the sun 2 hours or more), you will catch less viruses period. And prevent some cancers and other conditions.
There is no money for big medical or big pharma from cheap vitamin D so you will not hear this from your physician. Just do it.
