As of August, at least 50 people in 24 states were confirmed to have acute flaccid myelitis, a viral infection that attacks the body’s nervous system and has led to paralysis and death....
In July, the Texas Department of State Health Services issued a warning to health providers after seven incidents were reported by the end of June.
There have been a total of 11 confirmed and two suspected cases of AFM in Texas to date, and five have been in Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties, according to DSHS. The first case was reported in March, followed by two in May, four in June, three in July and one in August.
"Any time we see illnesses without an apparent explanation, it is concerning and we want to figure out what's going on," Chris Van Deusen, press officer for DSHS said on Friday. At this point, however, the agency has not seen evidence pointing to a pattern or common cause in Texas, he said.

Any outbreaks of scurvy, or dysentery lately as well?
I don’t suppose that anyone in our feral government ever considered that a lot of these strange diseases which are now appearing may have come from the millions of un-screened, illegal aliens.
Probably something the illegals dragged out of the sewer and brought here with them.
It sounds like that old computer game Oregon Trail...
Racist /s
The mysterious illness is Enterovirus which peaked a couple of years ago coinciding with His Arrogance’s surge in illegals. At that time there was also a surge in “mysterious illenesses” like Whooping Cough, TB, Measles, Enterovirus, etc.
In all instances, the incompetent and criminally negligent CDC, stated they were confounded as to the rise in illnesses that had been pretty much eradicated in the US. It must be assumed that most of the CDC has not completed any advanced medical training.
I still can not believe we brought Ebola victims here!!!! One ambulance accident, a breach of protocol by people who really had not much prior training....major catastrophe!
I think God was looking out for us big time. I truly believe the rats were hoping for chaos. That was beyond irresponsible. That was cruel and heartless.
But "Trump is Hilter!!!!" Okey Dokey.
What it's gonna take to wake up 1/2 of America isn't gonna be pretty.
Open borders
didn't we do this, even on Ellis Island?
It seems our forefathers knew what could happen.
Illegal Aliens are invading our country. The Dems facilitate this invasion. For no other reason than this, Obama and others should be impeached. They have failed to protect and defend.
Maybe it is polio. A case of leprosy was reported in CA. Turd worlders might bring back the Black Death (Bubonic Plague) and Smallpox.
Ebola couldn’t spread very fast nor far in the US. Unless it mutated to be super contagious. Even then, it ain’t Captain Trips.
You sure? From what I read most of the virus was spread in African countries because of their customs of preparing their dead. Fair enuf.
But when the outbreak happened I read in med journals about breaches of protocol and health care workers becoming infected and died.
“Trips”, histrionic on your part.
Explain to me why should ONE American life should have put at risk to handle a tragedy we could have handled there by trained people??

The American lives that were put at risk were because of their own ignorance.
But you’re right, they shouldn’t be.
But Ebola isn’t a fraction as dangerous to a western country as it is to an undeveloped country.
Globalism’s diversity of global disease is our strength.
Globalists do not care if we are poor and suffer petulance. The more of us they can kill, the less co2 on their globe.
