The
First is Hand, Foot, and Mouth… No Biggie? Right… But I was working
while this station was on it’s afternoon news cycle and several times
they stated Children’s Mercy Hospital had stopped allowing non-patients
in the hospital for fear of Hand, Foot and Mouth affecting any
immuno-compromised children who were already admitted.
OVERLAND
PARK, Kan. —Johnson County doctors said they’re seeing an overwhelming
number of patients being treated for the childhood virus known as hand,
foot and mouth disease.
“Kids have been out running around, doing all their stuff and now we throw them all into a classroom together,” said pediatrician Dr. Steve Lauer of the University of Kansas Hospital. “They start coughing on each other, touching each other.”
Some of the symptoms include a fever, sore throat and painful sores in the mouth. Patients may also get a skin rash on their hands and feet.
The virus is easily spread and there’s no vaccine to protect against it, so doctors hope people can focus on practices that keep it from spreading.

No mention of Children’s Mercy Hospital in THIS ARTICLE OR VIDEO? But the live news cycle mentioned this several times.

Ok Story #2… Made the Drudge Report: MYSTERY: MO hospital treats hundreds of children for unusual virus…
So this second virus is called Enterovirus 68.
Media Hype aside… This is a virus that seems to strike QUICKLY. Targets children, and is causing hospitals to see FLU Season levels of patients.

KANSAS
CITY, Mo. — An unusual respiratory virus is striking children in the
metro in big numbers. Children’s Mercy Hospital is hospitalizing 20 to
30 kids a day with the virus. The hospital is as full now as it is at
the height of flu season.
This is not the same virus we told you about several weeks ago that can cause meningitis. This one can cause severe breathing trouble. Children’s Mercy has seen more than 300 cases in recent days in kids of all ages.(WTF)
Preston Sheldon’s mom says he seemed fine when she took him to pre-school Tuesday. But minutes later, the Grain Valley mom got the call. Her three-year-old son was having trouble breathing.
“You could see his ribs, and his stomach was pushing out really hard… I thought it was an asthma attack,” said Pam Sheldon.
“”To try to stop the spread, Children’s Mercy has posted signs at security entrances saying children 12 or younger should not visit in-patients. Nor should those with symptoms visit.“”

So WTF is going on in KC… and for the record Overland Park IS the City in Kansas that borders Kansas City.
And this is the first time Enterovirus 68 has EVER been seen in Kansas City.
Enterovirus can cause POLIO type symptoms.
WTF is going on in KC?
