Ebola vs. mystery virus—where’s the hysteria?

The country had a melt down over Ebola which killed or sickened a few people and got us an Ebola czar with no experience for a few weeks. But there wasn't much said about the mysterious virus that has killed 12 children, left 94 with polio like paralysis, and sickened over 1,000. Lots of unanswered questions. We've finally got a new name: Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), but the experts are not sure how it is related to EV-D68 virus. CDC is unable to answer whether the EV-D68 epidemic is connected to the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children allowed to enter the U.S. from Central and South America in the last couple of years. EV-D68 is known to have circulated in El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Lets blame those poor little immigrant children, Jesus would. Funny thing about blaming those children though..... I saw a CDC map of the location of kids with the 'mystery' virus and there were 2 states not represented. Those states were Nevada and Arizona. And knowing the path those little infected carriers probably took to gain entrance to this giant sterile country of ours, I couldn't help but wonder how the little infected incubators managed to get here without crossing those states.

Well good for you. The CDC, HHS and all the state government health departments haven't cleared the thousands of illegals pouring in, but you with all your epidemiology background have. Amazing.
