Obama’s Executive Order — Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases
“(b) Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled. This subsection does not apply to influenza.”
Hundreds of young children suffering from a respiratory illness that has symptoms similar to a common cold have been filling up intensive care units in several Midwest cities.
As the school year gets underway, a CDC official said in an interview Sunday that the large number of seriously ill patients being reported now could be “just the tip of the iceberg in terms of severe cases.”
“We’re in the middle of looking into this,” Mark Pallansch told CNN. “We don’t have all the answers yet.”
Human enterovirus 68 mimics the common cold but within hours those affected are severely ill. While it tends to affect sufferers of diseases like asthma worse, many parents have been left surprised that within just hours of relatively benign symptoms their children are left gasping for air and placed on a ventilator in the ICU.
Apparent sufferers of the illness are filling up intensive care units at hospitals around Colorado, CBS Denver reports.
Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City had reported treated about 450 cases in young children as of early last week.
More than 70 children complaining of respiratory virus symptoms visited the Blessing Hospital in Quincy, southwest Illinois, during the Labor Day weekend, according to Reuters.
St. Louis hospitals have also issued warnings about the disease’s outbreak.
Hannibal Regional Hospital near the Missouri-Illinois border asked on its Facebook page “that children 16 and under and persons with the following symptoms refrain from visiting patients who are hospitalized at Hannibal Regional Hospital until further notice,” due to the virus.
“I remember thinking I was going to die,” said 13-year-old Colorado resident Will Cornejo. “Yesterday I felt like I couldn’t breathe at all.”
Will had to be placed on oxygen after visiting a Denver hospital.
“He was white as a ghost, his lips were blue, he was completely unconscious at that point,” said Will’s mother, Jennifer Cornejo.
His father, Matt Cornejo, said they felt “sheer terror.”
In the ICU at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, Dr. Raju Meyappan said the virus hadn’t shown up in Denver until now.
Now he is seeing how quickly this virus becomes life-threatening, especially in children with mild asthma.
“The onset of symptoms was very rapid, usually within hours,” said Meyappan.
Since human enterovirus 68 is a virus, antibiotics don’t work. Doctors can only treat the symptoms, helping kids breathe and trying to keep their airways open.
My Fellow Americans:
Gee,…. would it turn out to be another,…. “Co-incidence”,.. if this outbreak of a repiratory disease happen to be identical to the MERS (same as SARS) that disappeared from a French lab in January-Febuary of this year?
Note: I had talked about this several time in the spring and summer, reminding our listeners of the simple fact that some 2,300 vials of the MERS pathogen disappeared from the Controlled-Access French Research facility, the Pasteur Institute, which had a BSL-High Security Protocol, required regristration and logging for everyone going in and out, and yet somehow,…. mysteriously,.. unexplainably,… somebody managed to walk out with approx. 2,300 vials,… which is about 29 CASES of this virus,…. and nobody can figure who or how (????).
My comments several months ago, then a few months ago, then several weeks ago was,…. don’t be surprised if there is a sudden, unexplained outbreak of a SARS (MERS) like Respiratory Disease here in the US.
Viola!,… here it is.
Next up – New 9/11 attacks?
JD – US Marines – These PIC’s (Pyschos-In-Charge) really are as predicatable as the moringing low-tide,.. and its ensueing stench.

Radiation to make it all go accordingly.
