As of August, at least 50 people in 24 states were confirmed to have acute flaccid myelitis, a viral infection that attacks the body’s nervous system and has led to paralysis and death....
In July, the Texas Department of State Health Services issued a warning to health providers after seven incidents were reported by the end of June.
There have been a total of 11 confirmed and two suspected cases of AFM in Texas to date, and five have been in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties, according to DSHS. The first case was reported in March, followed by two in May, four in June, three in July and one in August.
"Any time we see illnesses without an apparent explanation, it is concerning and we want to figure out what's going on," Chris Van Deusen, press officer for DSHS said on Friday. At this point, however, the agency has not seen evidence pointing to a pattern or common cause in Texas, he said.

Well if we are now too stupid to protect our own lives at least we are being “nice”!/s
Lord help us as we de-evolve. (How many times have you seen someone glued to their cell phone just walk out it front of your car?? Sometimes I think they should just be fair game!! (as I slam on my brakes.))
Yeah, just keep ltting all these unwashed wet backs in.
The ones carrying who knows what disease cause they are not checked.
Hell even at Ellis Island if you came in sick you were turned away.
With this federal gubmint of obammys they seek out the sickos to come
The British nurse who’s been in and out of the hospital for recurring ebola is back in the hospital AGAIN. About the fourth time since the initial time back when there was such a scare a couple years ago. CDC had to admit is lived for up to six months in semen but with this nurse’s coming back again and again, it’s obvious it may always linger in your body.
Now, now, you know we can’t profile or test or screen or vet or anything these days. That just wouldn’t be PC. PC is more important than US citizens’ lives.
I had to turn off FOX this morning because all the talking heads had their panties in a wad over Trump’s locker room braggings 11 years ago. Hillary’s stance on open borders got all of maybe 20 seconds of air time. Trump’s brags aren’t going to kill us but Hellary will.
BTW, I’m a woman and don’t care what he said. It was nothing. Not even a hair on a tick. Zero, zilch, nada.
Holy cow. Thanks for the ping, TIK.
Thanks for the ping.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
That would be beri-beri bad.
I suggest they look beyond a common cause and take a look at whether the majority of cases are in refugees or other third world immigrants
That or the fact they have never received any polio vaccine
