I figured this board has been pretty boring lately so I may as well PW it up a little.
This is kind of scary mostly because they seem to have no clue what is going on. This article says 5 but another article said there are up to 25 cases being investigated. Ummmm...

That movie haunts me now that I have a baby.
I was able to find several other articles that confirm 25 cases being investigated, but only 5 they are certain are all the same syndrome.

Fuck. Were any close to LA?
Uuuggh.
I have seen how polio can affect you and I don't wish that on anyone. Polio vaccines are a huge push where I was in Africa and if you knew any of the polio victims there you would never question getting the vaccine.
Yes - that is the scary part! The vaccine doesn't cover this particular virus (they aren't even calling it polio at all, just similar to. They also didn't really give any guidelines regarding the spread of this virus. Soooooo scary.
