Spreading faster than doctors and hospitals can keep up with, the CDC has updated it’s website with very little fanfare or notice, to show that now 46 states and Washington DC now have lab-confirmed cases of Enterovirus D68 aka EV-D68. Those states are Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Also according to the CDC, there are no figures presented on how many cases are in each state, just that at least one confirmed case is present in each state and that 691 children are infected. There are at least 1,000 specimens received since mid-September still not tested.

EV-D68 has been detected in specimens from five* patients who died and had samples submitted for testing. CDC is reporting test results to state health departments as we obtain them.
State and local officials have the authority to determine the cause of death, including the role that EV-D68 may have played. They also have the authority to determine the appropriate information to release, and the time to release it. CDC will defer to states to provide this information.
Although the CDC still has EV-D68 listed as a “non-polio” enterovirus, multiple states have reported that paralysis has accompanied the infection, leading some to believe the virus has either mutated or has been deliberately altered as a bio-weapon.
To that end, David Hodges at The Common Sense Show has a must-read article entitled “The Case That EV-D68 and Ebola Were Constituted As Bio-Weapons Directed At the American People.”
While all eyes have been focused on Ebola which made it’s first appearance in the US, with one patient, Thomas Duncan, dead and a healthcare working who treated him now infected herself, this enterovirus has rapidly spread throughout the nation.
