Of the 691 cases of EV-D68 confirmed from by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now in 46 states and the District of Columbia, 14 of these cases are in Texas.
On October 9, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) confirmed that the children with EV-D68 were residents of Anderson, Bexar, Dallas (7), Denton, and Lubbock (4) Counties. One additional confirmed case was in a resident of another state.
In Lubbock, the Avalanche-Journal reported an additional case on October 10, although it was not recorded with the DSHS. If confirmed, this would bring the Texas EV-D68 tally up to 15.
Still, medical professionals caution against panic over EV-D68. Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) Medical Director/Health Authority Dr. Christopher Perkins said on September 26 that not all respiratory illnesses occurring are EV-D68. This also is cold and flu season.
The enterovirus season runs from July through October. Almost all of the confirmed cases of the virus this year have been among children the CDC reported. Infants, children, and teenagers are at higher risk than adults for getting infected and sick with enteroviruses like EV-D68. The CDC stated that is "because they have not been exposed to these types of viruses before, and they do not yet have immunity (protection) built up to fight the disease."

MIchigan girl dies from virus
Oh great. Does that mean it’s now in schools?
Aren't we the lucky ones, it's all about building up our immunity, so can't close the borders/sarc.
Yes, I’m more worried about it since I have gkids. The article says there is a season for it through October; I hope that is true but I don’t believe anything I’m told these days.
Of course it is! They have shipped these virus carrying illegals all over the country, set them up in schools, given them free healthcare, foodstamps and a nice warm place to live. All the while, they are transferring their dangerous viruses to our children on our dime! Insanity! Thank you Mr. Obola! POS
I caught that too.
Yep. If it weren’t for Ebola, we would be talking about dead American children. They need to scream from the rooftops about this outrage.

Illegal alien kids in the schools
We'll see if it stops in the next 2-3 weeks.
In case you haven’t noticed, racism is the only thing that is permitted to cause outrage in this brainwashed, foolish nation. The greatest disasters, crimes, are reported with a sense of regret. Then racism comes up, and everyone gets grim, hackles are raised high. Children are dying all across the nation, it is reported with sorrow, no questions as to why, dots are never connected. Just submit. Accept Obama’s will, it is inevitable.
Yes.
Remember, a few years ago, we had to close down schools to get ahead of H1N1.
Strange thing about how they double speak.
