Unidentified Respiratory Virus Likely to Hit Kids Across Country

I get that the OP brought it up to. However, that doesn't change the fact that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this particular outbreak started because of unscreened illegal immigrants. In fact, it isn't likely at all given the nature of this virus, since it's symptoms come on fast. It would have almost certainly showed up in those states where they were being detained or came into first, then spread out. Not showed up in farther away states. This isn't something that has a vaccination, so even that wouldn't have mattered.

I err on the side of caution where my grandchildren are concerned. How about you?

[there are some 1500 of those children in NC]
 
Found this to show where these children (MOSTLY FROM CENTRAL AMERICA) have landed. [with minimal health screening]

Like I said, we have many cases of a stomach bug here which could be in the same family of viruses. Give it a few weeks to see if the respiratory version shows up in other states.

Extremely poor correlation with the reported cases of this particular illness. Thanks for proving my point.

Like seriously, statistically speaking this would be better evidence that immigrant children prevent this illness.

Border states likely have a higher immunity to foreign diseases and such because we've been exposed on a greater basis for years.

As I've said, I expect my children to get sick. I do not blame anyone for bringing it in. Illness is part of nature. I'd prefer not to have them exposed to deadly viruses, where the majority die from it, especially if they would be within the "vulnerable" group, but I can deal with other non-deadly illnesses, like this one. It builds up their immunities. It sucks to have them sick, but most of these things won't actually kill them. This one hasn't killed any children so far, and neither of my children have asthma or other issues that would leave them vulnerable, and that is assuming that whatever they had this past week, which they are getting over, wasn't this illness.

Sorry, but I doubt you really do err on the side of caution. Do your grandchildren wear surgical masks when they come visit you or you them? If not, then you really aren't that cautious. This is just another faux outrage by the right to use the immigration situation as fear mongering.

Now, don't get me wrong, I really do think the border should be secure and I agree with most of the rights reason for it but this fear mongering of "OMG THINK OF THE CHILDREN" excuse is lame. I can think of far more valid reasons to secure the border than some fruit balls trying to coorleate a respiratory illness all of a suddn to the border crisis.

Argumentum ad hominem, Moralistic fallacy, to name two....

More deflection from the Obama deranged syndrome team. Everything I said IS valid, despite your saying it isn't. Don't like it go pound sand. Your deflection and unable to answer is noted.

Still can't answer huh? Not suprised. I find most cons run away scared when presented the truth compared to their fear mongering.

Mental gymnastics gold medalist WCH, everybody.

Look, even with this "higher immunity" to "foreign diseases" nonsense, the correlation still fails miserably. Whatever the opposite of a correlation is, this is it right here. This is not the Obamavirus you so desperately want it to be.

CDC says it's probably a relative of the rhinovirus. The common cold. But no. WCH, internet viral epidemiologist, says it must be Obama's fault based on zero evidence.

This virus could have also been introduced by injection into McDonald's ketchup packets. Are you taking precautions for that?

Because you have just as much evidence for that hypothesis. You understand that, right? Remember that ISIS laptop that talked about bioterrorism? It's in the ketchup.

We're having a rash of the intestinal version here in Texas.

Probably from trying to digest all of the BS being spread around about the issue of refugee children in the US.

Oh, no, not McDonald's ketchup!

Is that real ketchup, or is it red ketchup flavored semi liquid?

Not running brother, just waiting for you to present an argument not loaded with logical fallacies.

Isn't "there's absolutely no evidence for this notion of yours" a good enough argument?

It's ok, most cons can't answer those questions. It's the intellectual dishonesty most cons have. Keep running, while saying you aren't. It's quite hilarious and pathetic on your part.
