Title: Are We Worrying About the Wrong Virus? = Ebola? Post by: BADecker on October 07, 2014, 12:51:55 AM While America's attention is on a disease in which there is only ONE confirmed case in the country, there have been 538 cases of Enterovirus D68, 5 deaths, and 10 cases of paralysis.
The enterovirus is an illness that is passed on like the flu or the common cold, and there are millions of cases per year, according to CDC estimates. However, there are hundreds of strains and this one - EV-D68 – is incredibly virulent. Last week in New Jersey, a little boy died suddenly, with no previous signs of being ill. He just went to bed and never got up. A week later, an autopsy confirmed that he had died from Enterovirus D-68. This went all but unnoticed by the media as the nation focused on the single case of Ebola in Dallas. Eli — a sweet, active, blonde-haired preschooler — had gone to sleep feeling fine, perhaps dreaming of playing with his sisters or having a fun day at school. He didn't make it through the night.

Close to 100% true. But that wasn't the point, really. The point was informing that media focus is either off, or it is criminally skewed. The real point for everyone is, wake up and see that the media isn't the best place to go for info. Another point would be, check into the dangerous viruses, not ebola. It isn't dangerous until you get it. And there are lots others you will get before you could ever think of getting ebola. :) Title: Re: Are We Worrying About the Wrong Virus? = Ebola? Post by: DarkHyudrA on November 14, 2014, 10:24:46 AM Worrying About the Wrong Virus = Ebola. I really worry about this, it is a disease on the world. But its not the only one deadly virus on the world. Thats the point. And most important, Ebola is being severely secured and managed from his origin (Africa) by dozens of field medics.

You're not wrong, but there are also many other real dangers worldwide without any current solutions. OP raises a good question: are we worrying about the wrong thing? Should we be worried about everything, or nothing at all? |
