“But we suspect that the jump in cases from 26 in 36 years to nearly 700 in one year coming at the same time as the open-border influx of improperly screened illegal aliens is more than just a coincidence.”
Of course it is more than a coincidence, it’s cause and effect. Note that 2014 isn’t yet “one year”, it’s four or five months.
From an earlier thread:
“Enterovirus 68 was first identified in a California lab in 1962, after four children came down with a severe respiratory illness. Between 1970 and 2005, only 26 cases of enterovirus 68 in the United States were reported to the CDC. Since 2000, the government agency has kept a closer watch and has seen 47 cases, Oberste said.”

That “since 2000” qualifier makes it unclear how many of those 47 cases are 2000-2005 and how many between 2005 and the Southern Invasion.
Note: From the embedded link, “the highest number of reports in a single year was 11 in 2003”. That drops that 26 down to 15 in 36 years.

So 700 in let’s say it’s been 700 confirmed cases in half of 2014, compared to 15 in 36 years. That’s (700 / 1/4) / (15/36), a 6700-fold difference. I haven’t done the math that they would have to do to pretend it’s just one of those amazing coincidences that happens from time to time.
Amen.
As bad as our education system is most kids by the 4th grade could do that math and figure out it’s no coincidence.
You had better data, and a tighter calculation. Even calculations as broad as mine still indicate there is an anomaly which coincides with the ‘surge’ of illegals, but yours really points it out. Nice job.
