Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
The rare virus that sickened children in California last year and slammed Kansas City a few weeks ago has now been found in ten states.
Doctors say the rare virus, Human Enterovirus 68, is related to rhinovirus which causes the common cold. The Centers for Disease Control says that 10 states have shown cases of the virus: Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Georgia.
Dr. Richard Besser, the Chief Health and Medical Editor for ABC News, said that viruses “don’t respect borders” and that he expects it to appear across the country.
“If your state doesn’t have it now,” Dr. Besser said, “Watch for it, it’s coming.”
Doctors from Children’s Hospital Colorado in Denver said that the virus stats showing signs of a cold such as sneezing and coughing. The victims then start wheezing and have trouble breathing similar to an asthma attack.
Children under 5 and those with asthma are considered to be at highest risk. Some patients have to be in intensive care for 4-7 days to assist breathing until the virus clears the system.
