CDC: Enterovirus D68 found in four patients who have died
WITI ^ | 10/2/2014

Samples collected from four patients who recently died have tested positive for enterovirus D68, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is unclear what role the virus played in their deaths.

This year, enterovirus D68 has been sending more children than usual to the hospital with severe respiratory illnesses. It seems to be most affecting children with a history of asthma or breathing problems. As of Wednesday, the CDC had confirmed 472 cases in 41 states.

The virus may also be linked to a small number of cases of a mysterious neurologic illness seen in Colorado, Boston and Michigan. Doctors in Colorado spotted it first — a group of 10 children hospitalized with limb weakness, cranial nerve dysfunction and abnormalities in their spinal gray matter.

Doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital have since identified four patients with the same symptoms. And a child in Washtenaw County, Michigan, also developed partial paralysis in the lower limbs after being hospitalized with the virus, the Michigan Department of Community Health said Wednesday.

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that commonly causes skin infections, pneumonia and blood poisoning. Most staph infections are easily treated with antibiotics, according to the National Institutes of Health, but some strains of the bacteria are resistant to these medications, making them harder to treat.

Antibiotic-resistant infections has been a big public health issue the past few years. In September, President Obama signed an executive order establishing a new interagency task force charged with developing a national strategy to combat these dangerous bacteria strains.

The CDC liars won't give any information on the other 3 deaths.

It's far more important to be politically correct than let on that this is a direct result of Obola's dereliction of duty - even if people have to die.

WTF is going on in this country?

Getting closer too, this is from a long-time FReeper on another thread:

Our neighbor’s little boy was taken by ambulance to the hospital this afternoon...trouble breathing due to a “severe respiratory infection.” They went to the Doctor yesterday...but it apparently escalated quickly.

Right you are. None of our govt. agencies will tell us the truth unless Valarie J. decides it won’t make resident Ebola look bad.

Yes. Leftists and other morons shrugged at bedbugs. Now they’re afraid of Ebola and D68. Once the United States was a bastion of freedom, safety, and excellent public health. They asked for change. They’ve gotten it.

It came from the hoards of people who came to this country illegally just months ago.
