Enterovirus Likely to
Spread Through Schools, Experts Say
What You Need to Know About the Enterovirus Outbreak
Unidentified Respiratory Virus Likely to Hit Kids Across Country
As of Saturday, enterovirus D68 had spread to 21 states across the
Midwest and East Coast, with confirmed cases spanning from New Mexico
to Montana to Delaware.
The virus is likely to spread across the country, ABC News' Dr. Richard
Besser said Sunday morning.
"It's very hard for a virus to be limited by borders," Besser said. "I
expect that it's going to hit the whole country."
There have been no reported cases of adults
contracting the virus.
Adults may already have built an immunity towards the virus from
previous infections, or may just get a milder version of the disease,
Besser said.
Children who contract enterovirus D68 first suffer from what appears to
be a common cold, with symptoms including a runny nose, coughing, and
sneezing, according to Besser.
The symptoms then escalate to difficulty breathing. Besser said parents
should look out for their children exhibiting signs of wheezing,
difficulty eating or speaking, and blueness around the lips.
Doctors have found a way to treat the symptoms, helping kids breath
more easily so they can get through the virus, Besser said.

This enterovirus can have very serious consequences, as it is a lot like polio. It can also kill, and it has. It has spread quickly across the country, apparently in the very locations the Obama administration distributed the illegal aliens it allowed into the country. The disease, by the way, is common in Central America. So far, a public connection hasn't been made by Republicans against their Democrat opponent murderers. If they do, we may see a more exciting election.
ReplyDeleteWho is this nobody? EVERYBODY is mentioning the illegal alien kids and their diseases, and everybody else is even talking about Ebola being brought in by terrorists. The VRWC blogosphere is saturated with it.
ReplyDeleteThe only NOBODYs talking about either are a) the chickenshits in charge who made\allowed this to happen, and b) the willfully blind cheerleaders of the MSM.
