KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An unusual respiratory virus is striking children in the metro in big numbers. Children’s Mercy Hospital is hospitalizing 20 to 30 kids a day with the virus. The hospital is as full now as it is at the height of flu season.

This is not the same virus we told you about several weeks ago that can cause meningitis. This one can cause severe breathing trouble. Children’s Mercy has seen more than 300 cases in recent days in kids of all ages.

Damn illegals are already starting spread their filthy archaic diseases to our children. Be smart, consider home schooling or pulling your kid from school if it one they shipped all those illegals kids to. Or some of the 35 year old men posing as kids - when is someone going to stand up to obama, boehner, and holder on all this illegality???????????

Don't blame the illegals, they are just spreading diseases Americans refuse to spread.

Blame your government. A nation without border controls or immigration controls soon ceases to be a nation. This is happening before our eyes.

Did this new disease come in through the DH”S” and
Obama’s quartering to his 57 States?

or is it another weaponized virus now released by
Obama, al Qaeda and IS (the Islamic Trinity)
against the American people?

I got a cold in mid-July that turned into bronchitis. Still have lingering effects from it.

From the article: “It is enterovirus 68. The doctor says it’s well-known around the world, but cases have not been seen in Kansas City before.”

We’ll be seeing more and more “mystery” diseases now that we’ve opened our “hearts and minds”. Sarc

Do you really think that AQ/IS would waste time and money on a virus that is much more likely to annoy than cause death?

Yep, blame the government. They’re the ones letting infected and infectious illegals be spread randomly around the country.

Yes, I got whooping cough and at first my doctor refused to call it that at first. I guess even he thought the U.S. Had shut this one down (in metro KC).

Most recently developed double pneumonia - in July!

Two friends also suffering bronchitis and bronchial pneumonia, again in July/August!

This article had it as only previously seen in CA within the US. It was described as “polio-like”.

Saw on Fox this morning that MD and VA are experiencing severe crowding in their schools, along with teacher shortages, because over a thousand illegals have been dumped into some school districts there. Expect a lot of strange diseases to show up in that population.

Parents really should boycott the schools in places like that to protect their children from diseases and from gangs. This is about the worst thing Obama has done to the American people.

An article from February -

http://voxxi.com/2014/02/25/mysterious-polio-illness-in-california/

Mysterious illness affects 25 children in California

Doctors are mystified by a polio-like illness affecting approximately 25 children in California.
The affliction, which manifests as limb paralysis and flu-type symptoms, doesn’t seem to stem from a common cause. However, medical researchers believe that the infections may be caused by a type of enterovirus, the same virus family that includes polio. They’ve seen cases in children between ages 2 and 16 over the last two years.
Though polio has been eradicated from the U.S. for over 30 years, researchers are trying to isolate the current virus to see just how similar it may be to that fatal infection.

Our school district has stated they are only allowing “homeless” children, not “undocumented”. Since they were told to treat illegals as “homeless”, they won’t have to show ID, proof of residency and proof of vaccinations. They have prepared buses to take all the “homeless” children to a local vaccination clinic on the first day of school to make sure they have their shots.

So now, not only are we giving them a free education, we are giving them free school supplies, free food, free medicine and free transportation. This is why my child needs to bring in close to twice as many notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons and “donations” as they did last year. One of the PTA neighbors stated that they contemplated having police on campus this year for the orientation in case parents get rowdy during the Q&A.

Why don’t I just lose my license and claim to be illegal?

The world is entering through the southern border.
