The entero virus has hit America's children fairly hard in the last month. It is not a new virus; it was first diagnosed in the USA about 50 years ago. What is different this year, however, is that this virus has appeared across the country in a rapid movement that is not consistent with the normal spread of a disease. Instead of starting in one area and then spreading to a few more, the virus appeared in multiple locations and then almost immediately hit the rest of the country. Another big difference from previous years is that instead of a few sporadic cases, the virus has been strong and widespread almost everywhere.
The entero virus presents as nothing much more than a bad cold. Most of the infected children have a bout with the disease and then get better. Children with asthma or other respiratory problems, however, can face life threatening problems from the virus. With proper hospital treatment, however, even those children beat the virus. Now, however, we are hearing that a small group of children who have had the entero virus are getting hit with paralysis. No one yet knows if the paralysis and muscle weakness is permanent or transitory. We just know that there may be thousands of kids paralyzed across the country.
The worst part of the entero virus problem is that it seems to be the direct result of all of those children entering the country illegally over the summer. In Central and South America, you see, the entero virus is commonplace. Unlike the USA where almost none of the kids have had the virus, nearly all the children in these Latin American countries have had the disease. Now they have brought it to the USA. As president Obama and his people dispersed these kids in secret across the country, they also spread the entero virus to children in all fifty states. Obama political stunt of keeping the kids rather than sending them home has subjected children across the country to this virus.
