An interesting thought

I heard a commentator putting a theory out there that may have some merit. We are not hearing this on the news but the spread of the virus in the story below ties in eerily closely to the timing of the distribution of all the immigrant children that have been relocated to almost every state in the nation. It is no secret many of the child immigrants streaming across our southern border by the thousands are not well and are possibly carrying disease. We may now be paying the price in another way in our country for our open border.

Parents should be on high alert for a new respiratory illness that's likely to become a national issue, according to the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. The disease, identified as enterovirus D68, is related to the rhinovirus and has infected more than 1,000 children in 10 states. Doctors say the illness often starts as a cold with coughing, a runny nose, and sneezing, but when wheezing begins, the disease can become very dangerous.
The illness has been spreading rapidly, likely due to the start of school, and young children and kids with asthma are especially at risk. Because of how the disease affects the respiratory system, asthmatic children are experiencing intensified symptoms that have left several affected kids in the emergency room. Experts ask parents to make sure that your child's inhaler is readily available and to prepare a plan in case an asthma attack occurs.
