"As of October 10, 2014, the CDC has confirmed 691 cases of EV-D68 in 46 states. That number is expected to continue to grow as a backlog of specimens are still awaiting testing by CDC or state public health laboratories.
About half of the specimens tested by CDC labs have come up positive for EV-D68, while about one-third have tested positive for an enterovirus or rhinovirus other than EV-D68."

"Respiratory enterovirus infecting American children in over 45 States
As the respiratory enterovirus infecting American children in over 45 States has marched from community to community, resulting in six deaths, I am reminded that the buses full of illegal aliens turned around by Murrieta protesters in July contained persons that were ALL infected with various diseases. Though the identified diseases being brought into this country by the influx of illegal aliens, a large number of which are children, are diseases like tuberculosis, scabies, and hand-foot-and-mouth disease, the fact that the Enterovirus D68 has begun its journey through the United States at the schools, at the start of the school year, sends up red flags that the likely spark has been infected children coming in from outside the country.
The harshness of the disease on American children is partly due to the rarity of the disease in this country. In addition to respiratory difficulties, the virus has also been a possible factor in muscle weakness and paralysis in at least 27 children and adults in a dozen states, ten of whom live in the Denver area, and a cluster of three at Children’s Mercy in Missouri where the disease first emerged in full force. The seriousness of the disease in some children can be the result of the fact that we are not used to this kind of illness because these kinds of diseases have been all but eliminated from this country because of our excellent, though under assault by the federal government, health care system, and a protocol of medically screening immigrants - a protocol the Obama administration has decided is racist, and must be ignored.
In Riverside County, California, a teenager has been diagnosed with the enterovirus. As the teen recovers at home, we are reminded that most cases are mild, and most cases are young children. Confirmed cases of Enterovirus D68 in Southern California have also emerged in San Diego and Los Angeles counties.
According to the Associated Press, new tests to “bump up the diagnosis of the illness” are in place, assisting heath care workers in going through a massive backlog of cases."
