The number of children treated in Colorado for limb weakness or paralysis-like symptoms after coming down with a respiratory virus has risen to 11, a hospital official said on Friday.
Melissa Vizcarra, spokeswoman for Children’s Hospital Colorado, said the child in the latest case is suffering from muscle weakness but tests have not conclusively linked it to a nationwide outbreak of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68).
More than 500 people, mostly children, in 43 states and the District of Columbia have been infected with EV-D68 since mid-August, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Why is no one discussing the infection of our children from a disease that came from the pResident’s open door policy on the southern border? Are our children only a means to an end for political ambitions? Which of the current epidemics will be the “reason” for the implementation of martial law?
