“[AFM] is incredibly scary for patients and families,” said Dr. Heidi Moline, the lead author of the report
and the University of Minnesota’s chief pediatrics resident.
“The fact that we were able to definitively identify the EV-D68 virus as the cause of paralysis in one of our Minnesota patients
does suggest this virus as a probable cause in our other recent AFM cases.”

EV-D68 has been suspected for some time as a cause, in part because of surveillance data since 2012 showing that spikes
in AFM cases emerged in lockstep with the virus every other fall in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
Despite suspicions about EV-D68, doctors and clinicians had struggled to find it in the spinal fluid of afflicted children.
California and Colorado have both reported high numbers of cases since 2014.

Cases of AFM were confirmed last year in 41 states but mostly occurred in regional clusters,
presumably in states where EV-D68 and other viruses are prevalent.
California and Colorado have both reported high numbers of cases since 2014.

Infectious Disease - AFM (Virus) - affects mostly children with polio like symptoms

AFM cases emerged in lockstep with the virus every other fall in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
Time to prepare for 2020.

Quick force everyone to take an untested vaccine from a company that is totally exempt liability.

Has this condition been diagnosed in any nation other than the US? That seems like very relevant information. Don’t recall that being answered in several previous articles on this subject.

I have believed it was D68 for at least two years.

Should be able to produce a vaccine, after all, polio 1, 2, and 3 are the enterovirus family prototypes.

My Bold:

Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees of enterovirus species A, B, C, D and rhinovirus A, B, C isolates from Latin America: The 5'UTR region is much more affected by recombination events than the VP4/VP2 coding sequence.[9] Polio is in the enterovirus C species; enterovirus 71, a strain of enterovirus A, has been reported to cause rare neurological complications; the suspected cause of the 2014 cases is a strain of enterovirus D. Most enteroviruses and rhinoviruses cause only common cold symptoms.

SHUT THE PHUQUIN' BORDERS DOWN NOW !

By it's name, enterovirus-D68 must orginate in the intestines. So this is an intestinal virus that migrates to the nervous system?
