This isn’t just another virus. Enterovirus 68 can cause permanent Polio-like paralysis in arms or legs.

http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2014/02/112176/update-rare-polio-disease-california

“Over the past 18 months, physicians in California have observed on rare occasions what may be a new disease, one in which patients, usually children, quickly and permanently lose muscle function in an arm or leg.

“In some cases, patients have had infectious respiratory symptoms before the paralysis begins. The illness shares some features with polio, but it is not the same disease.”

If that’s the case, they will VERY QUICKLY have to squelch it, just as they did when airbags were decapitating kids...the larger cause must be allow to prevail.
