...Enterovirus D68, (click here) a respiratory illness, has been making its way across the country since August, and has been diagnosed in nearly 600 people, in 43 states and the District of Columbia. Nearly all the confirmed cases this year of EV-D68 infection have been in children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....
The CDC has their hands full.
Open Note to the US Senate. I don't care what the politics of HEALTH is all about this year, not passing a qualified Surgeon General through the confirmation hearings is just wrong. Completely wrong. I realize the Affordable Care Act is a pain for any Republican, but, in retrospect with all these diseases coming to our American kids I am grateful there is a mandate for health care throughout this country.
The lack of a Surgeon General didn't bother me at first, but, I am getting rather upset with all this coming to haunt the American people, especially children, and winter hasn't even arrived yet.
I hate to tell anyone I told you so, but, an increase in microbes were predicted in the global warming paradigm. This is ENOUGH already. The lack of a Surgeon General is getting to be a national security issue. While Samantha Power is a wonderful professional, she is not qualified to speak about health issues, except, through the opinions of others. The CDC is facing all kinds of problems and the USA does not have a problem solver. It is high time all this mess is taken off the political landscape and soon!
