#2 Yes. Next question.

Bet on if any of the unscreened illegals are in his children's classes?

#4 “I would just steer away from that— it is not helpful, so why bring it up."

Denial - when the chant of "Hope-n-change" doesn't fit.

#5 The plague was resident, and still remains in Central Asia. The locals had developed rituals and taboos that kept it from having a major impact outside of other influences (famine, pestilence, war). Occasionally it would make a brief appearance outside as in the Plague of Justinian. So there were 'detections' before it hit Europe again in the 1300s to kill over a 100 million with emphasis.

#6 Dr. Steve. We understand it was here before. The willful lack of transparency on where they are shifting these "children" and info on known vectors they bring across gives me/us NO confidence we haven't imported a whole lotta illness to American citizens for Democrat and PC political gain

#7 "I would just steer away from that— it is not helpful, so why bring it up,"

Au contraire. It is a very interesting question. Science is all about curiosity.

And while you would, indeed, need to sequence the virus both here and in Central America to definitively answer the question, just being able to plot the unusual number of outbreaks vs the locations where the illegals went would shed some light on the question.

I agree wild accusations do little good, but the fact that we can't seem to get the data on where the kids went and the fact that everyone seems to be running from the question does not inspire confidence.

Normally, an epidemic of kids getting sick, with some dying or ending up paralyzed would be major news. That it is not only adds to the suspicion.

Hey, isn't this just the sort of thing the Center for Disease Control & Prevention should be on top of?
