    Fort Sill is in Oklahoma, maybe central Oklahoma? Not sure, but hours from Texas.
    In a totally unrelated matter, the news said Oklahoma was bringing in teachers from outside the country to help fill the shortage of teachers.
    Totally and they mean SUPER unrelated, the teachers speak Spanish.

    So where the kids end up after being placed in shelters remains a mystery. It's probably a safe bet that they don't get placed in the states they get sheltered in. They probably have really secret states wedged between known states, and the kids get sent there. That's why nobody sees them.

    Except those that do. It's not that big a secret. Like how this respiratory thing was first identified in CA and the Netherlands. Not Central America.

    Enteroviruses are very common, especially in the fall and winter months. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 10 to 15 million infections occur in the United States each year. But this type of enterovirus -- Enterovirus D68 -- appears to be exacerbating breathing problems in children with asthma.

    I get it yearly. EVERY stinking winter I fall ill with a bad cold and end up on steroids, inhalers, antibiotics (because, thanks to the asthma that has been triggered, I can't cough out the ick which has now turned into bronchitis) and lots of doctors visits. It's definitely not new at all. Even my husband said "When I heard the symptoms, I thought of you!"

    Sounds like our public schools. I have always called them a public petri dish!

    Could this be revenge of the rhino? How about compromised immune systems due to GMO's? Maybe germ warfare?

    How about the ravages of sin? This could also be a part of the pestilence predicted in last days.

    The Book of Genesis says some folk lived to be over 900 years.

    What happened? We have difficulty making 70 without lots of alkaloids.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    Thanks TCassidy. A friend of mine was there some years ago and I made the mistake of relying on my memory of where she said it was.

    You talk a good talk ...

    So, what makes you an authority on disease?

    I think you nailed it but Obama doesn't care about what "We the People" want and so comes the consequences i.e. unexplained illnesses.

    And that scares me, as it should scare all of us.

    It's not an unexplained illness, it's quite common and well understood.

    You couldn't be more wrong. This virus is highly contagious ie."communicable"

    Your opinions have , at least, made sense till now.

    That was really a dumb statement. It's evident your reading skills are not as good as you think they are.

    I suggest you look up the definition of "disease" and compare it to "illness".

    Link says respiratory illnesses are contagious, but does not say they are "diseases".

    I could be mistaken but I've always thought of a disease as something that is chronic and affects an organ or organs in the body. For example, asthma is a disease of the lung airways. What these children experienced was a viral infection, not a disease.

    I fully admit that I don't know for sure if a respiratory illness is a contagious disease, but it seems to me that catching a virus is not the same as having a disease. I'm willing to learn if anybody can show links to some definitions.
