A respiratory illness that has already sickened more than a thousand children in 10 states is likely to become a nationwide problem, doctors say.

The disease hasn't been officially identified but officials suspect a rare respiratory virus called human enterovirus 68. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is related to the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold.

According to Mark Pallansch, director of the Division of Viral Diseases at the CDC, similar cases to the ones in Colorado have been cropping up across the U.S. At least 10 states -- Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Georgia -- have reported suspected outbreaks of human enterovirus 68 and requested CDC support.

It’s also been seen in instances of polio-like cases like those in California. Problem is, by the time the polio-like symptoms appear, only a small number of patients will have been known to have the E-68 virus. That’s been noted in cases around the world, but only a few of them due to the problem of lack of early testing for E-68.

I'm 99% sure our five year old was hit by this. He's been coughing for months now, but is slowly getting better and is almost back to 100%.

Our doctor thought it was asthma and wanted him to start permanent medication. Since my wife and I, and a friend of the family who gifted us with it, had all also had similar symptoms, we (of course) didn't do it.

Best of luck to y'all out there.

I’ve heard no one in the MSM wondering if Obama’s open border policy let it in. It’s fun to watch the national news and try to guess why they’re ignoring a potential story. Maybe there is no story, and maybe they’re protecting the left and Obama from criticism. Either story is equally likely, given the MSM’s track record.
