Very interesting indeed. Consider my proposal seriously.
“Garvey says they sent samples from Iowa patients to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to see if they were the same virus type known as E-V-D-68 that has hit other states.”
That would make me believe that CDC knows exactly what virus has occurred where. In each case, they seem to be major cities. The one above was Des Moines, Iowa.
Des Moines is the next major hub on the Superhighway system going North from Kansas City.
How much proof do you need ?
States along I-35 North/South and I-70 East/West. KC in the middle, the crossroads of America.
I have gone into Missouri DHSS to try and track the cases there first, and I hit a brick wall. The data is only current up to May 17.
I went through CDC’s website to get the graphs for this outbreak, and they show no increase in the rate of influenza in Missouri. I didn’t check the other states. Perhaps this virus is not considered ‘influenza’.
Maybe. Could be that even though there are standard definitions of various protocols and there are standard operational protocols by disease, but also that one agency goes one added step further, or uses a product from a different manufacturer that they consider a superior design.
According to some of the interviews I have read, virologists who have been studying and tracking the Ebola virus have expressed sentiments about it that are along the lines of “ Ebola scares the s##t out of me.
To that I will say - me too. It scares the crap out of me. And there's really not that much a person can do to prep. Sure you can buy suits, and masks, and gloves, etc, but with people getting it who supposedly know all the correct protocols, what chance does a mere amateur have of not making a mistake that could result in infection.
If authorities were making a true effort and/or were effective containing it, that would be much less worrisome. They are not even giving the appearance of trying to contain it, else our borders would be shut down tight.
No, they just say it's not that easy to catch and let any person infected with who knows what into the country. Ebola, EV-D68, just a few of a long list of diseases that could kill our kids and grand kids. It's not just worrisome, it maddening, and treasonous.
Wow. If I didn’t know any better I could almost believe they’re trying to decimate flyover country.
But that would be a silly conspiracy theory wouldn’t it?
Actually, I don’t believe that it is being done on purpose.
Immigrants from Mexico have been coming to the US for a long time. If one were to track various flu outbreaks, they likely follow the path of the NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY.
EVD-68 is just the latest to be brought in this way.
We know that ‘this time’ the immigrants were not (mostly) from Mexico, but were from Central America (Honduras, for instance).
Perhaps that is why this strain showed up in Kansas City, and Colorado, and Des Moines, and Oklahoma.
The same is true of the AIRLINE routes. Although I doubt that (prior to the recent wave of ‘child’ immigrants) any of the illegals flew on airliners.
When ‘new’ infectious diseases enter this country, their ‘spread’ is simply a matter of following transportation corridors.
