Your link doesn’t even mention EV D-68, much less say it is endemic to Central America.

In fact, of the clusters or outbreaks of this disease that have occurred since it was discovered, none were in Central or Latin America.

Those clusters were in Philippines, Japan, the Netherlands, and the states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona and California.

Results
Our subjects had a median age of 3 years and a 1.2:1.0 male:female ratio. HRV was identified in 16% and HEV was identified in 3%. HRVs accounted for a higher frequency of isolates in those of younger age, in particular children < 1 years old. HRV-C accounted for 38% of all HRVs detected. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a high proportion of recombinant strains between HRV-A/HRV-C and between HEV-A/HEV-B. In addition, both EV-D68 and EV-A71 were identified.

Conclusions
In Latin America as in other regions, HRVs and HEVs account for a substantial proportion of respiratory viruses identified in young people with ILI, a finding that provides additional support for the development of pharmaceuticals and vaccines targeting these pathogens.


There are many ways people lie. Yours is just another variety.
