No mystery of the source to me.

This sudden surge in EV-D68 cases is perplexing to the investigative sleuths in the media.

Look to the south and the porous borders!

Some people are capable of connecting dots. Others not so much.

The only mystery is how so many have blinders on.

A further bit of investigation leads to the Virology Journal, which published an article on human enteroviruses in Latin America. They found that these viruses, “account for a substantial proportion of respiratory viruses identified in young people influenza-like illness.” But not here as, “It has been rarely reported in the United States.”

That is a horrible distortion of the Virology Journal article:

The first sentence is saying that enteroviruses in general (NOT just Enterovirus D-68) "account for a substantial proportion of respiratory viruses identified in young people influenza-like illness." That is not limited to Latin America - in fact, the words preceeding the quote are "In Latin America as in other regions . . ." The fact is, enteroviruses (in general) are common pretty much everywhere, including the U.S. and Canada.

By contrast, the second sentence is talking about EV-D 68 specifically. The D-68 strain is rare in the U.S., as it is rare pretty much everywhere (including Latin America). It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
