Respiratory virus infecting children throughout the midwest




















In Kansas City, about 450 children were recently treated at Children's Mercy Hospital, and at least 60 of them received intensive hospitalization, spokesman Jake Jacobson said.




Denver also is seeing a spike in respiratory illnesses resembling the virus, and hospitals have sent specimens for testing to confirm whether it's the same virus, CNN affiliate KUSA said.





More than 900 children have gone to Children's Hospital Colorado emergency and urgent care locations since August 18 for treatment of severe respiratory illnesses, including enterovirus and viral infections, hospital spokeswoman Melissa Vizcarra told CNN. Of those, 86 have been sick enough to be admitted to the Aurora facility.





And Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children had five children in intensive care and 20 more in the pediatric unit, KUSA said this week.





"This is the worst I've seen in my time here at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children," Dr. Raju Meyeppan told the outlet. "We're going to have a pretty busy winter at this institution and throughout the hospitals of Denver."

How Midwest are we talking?  Hantavirus has been rampant in some communities for about a decade now.

Edit NVM 20  cases is hardly enough to fight back a fart, much less mobilize the CDC.

There's no vaccine for it because it's the common fucking cold.

You did read where at one hospital alone in the past month roughly 900 children have been sent to the emergency room/urgentcare, including ICU?  Yeah not the common cold.

Nonsense.  It's probably airborne Ebola, or a flu virus that escaped from a government lab.

They've mentioned this on the local news here in St. Louis, where it's also happening. They said it's presenting like a serious asthma attack, so it's a bit more serious than a cold, although nothing to get panicked about.

The common cold can kill you, most of the known viruses that cause colds are enteroviruses, and you can walk into an emergency room for whatever you want.



I'm not saying this isn't something worth worrying about; I'm saying that they're pulling the old "dihydrogen monoxide" trick because nobody would care about it if they called it by its common name.

Mother has it right now so I couldn't go out there for my weekly home cooked meal on Saturday :(  and when I was working Friday morning I had to go replace the battery pack in an electronically controlled button combo door (when they start to fail they will make a beeping noise to let you know) in one of our facilities, and the chick that accessed me was hacking and sneezing and coughing like crazy.  I am surprised that whore at work didn't infect me.

But yeah, it is going around. It is a viral thing so if you stay hydrated and rest and take proper precautions no need to go the hospital because they are just gonna give you antibiotics that will actually have no effect on it except to make you more susceptible in the future and possibly lead to some nasty side affects down the road for you.

My son spent the night in the hospital last Tuesday because of this virus. Ended having 4 breathing treatments before his O2 stayed above 91%.  A little scary for us, but he kept on wanting to go outside and play.  

No helicopter parents here, I took him to urgent care when it sounded like he was breathing through a coffee stirrer, they sent him to the hospital.
