Wow. If I didn’t know any better I could almost believe they’re trying to decimate flyover country.
But that would be a silly conspiracy theory wouldn’t it?
Actually, I don’t believe that it is being done on purpose.
Immigrants from Mexico have been coming to the US for a long time. If one were to track various flu outbreaks, they likely follow the path of the NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY.
EVD-68 is just the latest to be brought in this way.
We know that ‘this time’ the immigrants were not (mostly) from Mexico, but were from Central America (Honduras, for instance).
Perhaps that is why this strain showed up in Kansas City, and Colorado, and Des Moines, and Oklahoma.
The same is true of the AIRLINE routes. Although I doubt that (prior to the recent wave of ‘child’ immigrants) any of the illegals flew on airliners.
When ‘new’ infectious diseases enter this country, their ‘spread’ is simply a matter of following transportation corridors.
