The CDC Tells a Texas Dr. They Don't Know How to Test For Enterovirus 68
Docs puzzled over enterovirus testing

Dr. Cowan said she called the lab her office uses, the state health department, and the CDC. They all told her they didn't know how to test for enterovirus 68.

"They says it's not in Texas, but I think that's not true at all," Dr. Cowan said. "I think it's that Texas is not testing."

Several other states seem to have no problem testing for it, but a border state (and the CDC) doesn't know how to.

wtf


from link:

There is no specific treatment for enterovirus 68 or any other type of rhinovirus beyond supportive care, which includes fluids, rest, and fever reducer. Most infections are mild. Those with severe symptoms, such as wheezing, may need hospitalization and intensive supportive therapy, including breathing treatments.

Anyone, especially children with asthma, who begin wheezing along with cold symptoms, should see a physician.

Maybe they aren't testing for it because the argument against illegals bringing it here has been...

"If the illegals brought it then the border states would have it."

Well, if the border states aren't testing for it then of course there wouldn't be any documented cases.

Here's a link from February tracing this virus back to California...where the outbreak seems to have started. NOT the Midwest.

Texas for some reason doesn't know how to test for it (so they say) and Arizona isn't required to report cases to the health dept.

I have no doubt this was brought here by illegals and the govt. Is trying to covering it up.
