#1 TW: Interesting article. I wonder if superspreaders might have a mutated form of the disease which makes them more contagious and lethal than the those with the original version of the virus.

#2 Those in our government seemed to have a cavalier attitude about ebola and enterovirus EV-D68. It became evident very quickly not how much was known about these viruses but how little was known. That is why the public was so dismayed about the cases appearing in this country and the lack of federal efforts to control further outbreaks.

#3 I highly recommend reading the wiki on Typhoid Mary. The woman refused to believe she carried the fever and spread it from family to family wherever she went. She was a cook who didn't believe in hand washing.

#4 Those in our government seemed to have a cavalier attitude about ebola and enterovirus EV-D68

that's because the health impacts on ACTUAL American citizens is less important than the Democrat party picking up those amnestied voters from Central America (who also are living on the American Citizens' dime)

#5 I am impressed by how little attention the enterovirus outbreak is getting in the media. Very good message discipline. Usually something that results in dead or paralyzed children would be Big News.

Of course, if they start talking about it, people might start drawing conclusions as to how it got started.
