We had plans for trying to swoop in and knockout or quench an outbreak if it were occurring far from our borders.

Yes, the toddler who died was Mexican and from Brownsville. Brownsville is on the Texas/Mexican border right on that bottom tip of the state. It's 350+ miles from there to Houston. If they drove, they would have stopped for gas, food, and potty breaks along the way so most likely spread the disease especially if the child had dirty diapers. This could very well have been a family who lived somewhere in central Mexico but came across the border for medical treatment and again, who knows how many they infected along the way.

I’m sure they infected their share. Toddlers are notorious for putting things in their mouths.

Not to mention Brownsville is very close to South Padre Island and Corpus Christi, which are spring break locations. Corpus has 20 cases right now. I don’t know about Port Isabel/South Padre yet.
