A new strain of a polio-like virus may be leading to paralysis in children.
LiveScience reports more than 100 children in 34 states mysteriously developed muscle weakness or paralysis in their arms or legs. This condition is known as acute flaccid myelitis, but researchers previously linked a virus called enterovirus D68 with some of the cases.
Only 20 percent of children with paralysis, though, tested positive for EV-D68, and it wasn’t clear if that virus was behind the child’s paralysis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a study in October 2014 of a 6-year-old girl who was examined at the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital for “acute onset of progressive right upper extremity weakness.” The little girl was previously healthy before falling ill.
The study linked the girl’s condition to a virus known as enterovirus C105. It was first detected in patients from Peru and the Republic of Congo in 2010.
Enterovirus C species includes the polioviruses.

Immigration disabling our children. The democrats don't care though. It's perfectly okay to them if a child is disabled here and there just so they get the immigrant votes.
You silly people need to open your eyes....

I pray now to God in heaven to protect our children from this horrible plight. Please God save our children. Amen
One more thing Trump is correct on.

It's time for Christians to stop praying and start fighting back. And, voting to replace ANY incumbent is a start.
I wonder if the children were checked for imbedded ticks. Not a tick-born disease but the presence of a feeding tick has been known to produce a progressive flaccid paralysis. The paralysis begins to disappear within a few hours of the removal of the tick.
