'Unprecedented' Outbreak Strikes Hundreds of Kids
Newser ^ | Sep 7, 2014 | Neal Colgrass

Posted on 09/07/2014 6:42:07 PM PDT by Enterprise

Hundreds of children have been hospitalized across several states with a respiratory illness that seems like a cold but can grow far worse, CNN reports. Colorado, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, and Oklahoma have already called the CDC for help in tackling an enterovirus that appears to be EV-D68. The current hospitalizations may be "just the tip of the iceberg in terms of severe cases," says a CDC director. "We're in the middle of looking into this. We don't have all the answers yet." The virus itself resembles a bad cold (nasty summer colds are often enteroviruses) but can become life-threatening, especially for children with asthma, CBS News reports.

Don't suppose this could have come with kids from south of the border. Naw, couldn't be. Obama would never place lots of kids with diseases within the States without telling them where the kids were placed. /s

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...

ImmunoMaxx and ProbenZyme. Lather, rinse, repeat. Every day every member of my household gets one of each, in addition to our daily vitamins and D3.

Would not surprise me if terrorists infected women and children before smuggling them into the U.S.

Two years ago my husband got “Fifth Disease” from our granddaughter. It’s a very mild childhood disease that most kids get and it usually goes unnoticed, with very few symptoms. But boy did it make my husband sick.

Obama and his administration ALL need to be arrested immediately.
They’ve let 1000’s of children into the US who are carriers of viruses that our children have NEVER been exposed to and have no antibodies for while the immigrant kids are already immune.
CDC doctors should be screaming!
IT’S CRIMINAL and aimed at our destruction.
They’ve spread these kids and the adults with them all over the damn country and we don’t even know where they are!

ONE of the reasons that we HAD immigration control in the first place was to stop potential for disease spread.

NO - it is NOT just kids in school. It is from illegal kids from south of the border. You need to see the names of all the patients at the hospitals and those coming into the schools. They are bringing lots of disease that was eradicated here decades ago.
