I forgot that you're functionally illiterate.
I'm saying it. We've had a 112 percent increase in incidence of this (previously) rare virus, that just happens to coincide with the flood of undocumented, sick, untreated children flooding across our borders and being released into our communities..and our schools.

Dr. Marc Siegel wrote this in
Slate magazine:
"As many as 50,000 children, mostly from Central American countries… are not being detained for the purpose of identifying illness, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement relying on self-report of symptoms, and many have already been sent to other states, where disease can spread.
Predictably, the medical community and the CDC are blaming the spread of this “rare” virus on seasonal allergies and the start of the school year. "
Rather than daring to suggest that illegal children could be the source and quarantining – or better yet, rounding up and sending home -- “unaccompanied minors,” health officials are recommending hand-washing, avoiding other sick children, covering noses and mouths when sneezing and coughing, as well as “having a game plan” if a child with asthma suddenly turns blue and can’t breathe.
Instead of playing the politically-correct denial game, would it be so wrong to suggest that the emergence of a new strain of childhood virus could be a result of the
112% increase in the numbers of new “unaccompanied minors” streaming into the country, carrying with them diseases either new, rare, or altogether eradicated from the U.S. for decades?

"When a case of H1N1 swine flu was diagnosed in late June, 2,000 flu vaccines were flown in. Since it takes two to three weeks for a vaccine to confer protection, more cases of flu are likely within the centers. It is also possible that the disease will spread to the local community and beyond.
"Drug-resistant tuberculosis also appears to have spread, with several counties in southern Texas reporting twice the usual average number of cases. TB is a disease that needs to be carefully monitored and screened for, a prospect that is not possible under the current circumstances.
"Dengue fever, a potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease that causes fatigue, pain in the bones and muscles, and fever, and infects close to 100 million people worldwide every year, has been detected this year in southern Texas for the first time since 2005. Illegal immigrants, possibly from Mexico, are a likely source. If infected mosquitoes begin to breed here, we could see more outbreaks.
"There have been reports of measles and chicken pox at the centers, both of which are highly contagious and can spread to other children who aren’t vaccinated."
The fact of the matter...immigrants always bring disease with them. It's asinine to pretend they don't.
The difference between progressives and the rest of humanity...progressives will LIE about this fact, and accuse others of lying when they say there is a risk..despite the fact that they know it's true.
Why is this?
The only reason is that they are okay with the spread of disease. Which isn't news to me. Progressives are ALWAYS anti-health, anti-medicine, anti-science..unless they can find a way to distort those things to justify killing others.
"calling it a crisis and working to contain it are two different things. It is clear that the CDC needs to be more involved immediately to help identify, treat, and contain emerging diseases. Putting a cone of secrecy around the health concerns of 50,000 children helps neither those who are sick nor those who are placed at risk."
