ABC News ^ | September 8, 2014 | By GILLIAN MOHNEY and DEAN SCHABNER

A respiratory illness that has already sickened more than a thousand children in 10 states is likely to become a nationwide problem, doctors say.

The disease hasn't been officially identified but officials suspect a rare respiratory virus called human enterovirus 68. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is related to the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.

According to Mark Pallansch, director of the Division of Viral Diseases at the CDC, similar cases to the ones in Colorado have been cropping up across the U.S. At least 10 states -- Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia -- have reported suspected outbreaks of human enterovirus 68 and requested CDC support.

Let’s not forget the Ebola pandemic that’s festering right now, too.

And not a SINGLE MENTION in the MSM at the 630 news half-hour. ‘Kids are sick’ for 5 minutes and no logically connection in the story to Illegals.

That’s just a jet flight away. Did you read about the U.S. Air Marshal attacked with a syringe in line in the airport in Nigeria?

No, but it doesn't surprise me. Time to go watch "12 Monkeys" again!

Really dangerous for my kid with asthma. He’s a cross country runner as well.

Obama’s war on children! Damn it, if he can’t get them aborted then he’ll get them later with a disease!

The executive order, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases, amends executive order 13295, passed by George W. Bush in April 2003, which allows for the, “apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases.”

Not that it hasn't been reported but I haven't seen nor heard any news agency report on this EO with respect to this latest respiratory issue. Obozo supposedly signed EO 13295 revising the original due to the Ebola virus. That was before he allowed infected American citizens reentry into the US.

It is steadily moving from California to the east across the nation. Supposedly, hussein’s “unaccompanied” illegal kids were supposed to stay in the centers for 23 days and have medical attention so it didn't come from them unless the 23 days was to pacify the sheeple. That means it probably came from those who didn't have an engraved invitation and free pass.
