Enterovirus D68 in the United States

For the past few weeks, we’ve been hearing about the EV- D68 virus on the evening news.

Reported cases began in the mid-western US, but have now spread to 38 states.

As of today, Texas seems to be in the clear, but that may change at any time.

I went to the CDC’s website to learn more about this respiratory illness that seems to be targeting children and wanted to share this info with you.
