Unidentified Respiratory Virus Likely to Hit Kids Across Country
"Viruses don't tend to respect borders," ABC News Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said. "It is only 10 states now, but it's going to be across the country. So if your state doesn't have it now, watch for it, it's coming."
Doctors say they are not even sure yet how this particular virus spreads, though the back-to-school season is a normal time for illnesses to spread among children.
"This is a very common time for outbreaks. Kids come back to school, they like to share things, they bring them home to their little brothers and sisters, and enteroviruses tend to occur in the summer," Besser said. "But this one, this particular Enterovirus 68, is very rare and they have no idea why it showed up this year."
At Children's Hospital Colorado in Denver, officials say that between Aug. 18 and Sept. 4, doctors saw more than 900 pediatric patients with symptoms of the respiratory virus in the emergency room. Of those who came in, 86 were admitted into the hospital and a handful ended up in the intensive care unit.
"It can start just like a cold -- runny nose, sneezing, coughs -- but it's the wheezing you have to watch out for," Besser said.

Everybody knows why this is happening. It's because of all those illegal kids coming across the Southern Border. Viruses don't respect borders, indeed!
Obama has encouraged this and facilitated all those kids flooding our schools and they are surprised that American kids are now getting sick????????
It's been well documented that a lot of these kids were carrying scabies and other diseases when they crossed the border and they wouldn't screen these kids.
You can call me hard hearted for not wanting diseased children in our schools, but hey liberals if you care DONATE YOUR MONEY TO HAVE THESE KIDS TREATED IN THEIR COUNTRIES!
Lots of Christians give money help third world children.
But there is nothing compassionate about bringing these kids here, no screening, NO TREATMENT, and then EXPOSING AMERICAN KIDS TO THE SAME DISEASES!
That's not compassionate at all! Does Obama care that our kids are going to get these diseases? NO! Do Democrats care?
NO! All they care about is getting that amnesty so they can get all those illegals to become Democrat voters. That is all they care about.
Mystery illness, my ass!
