Anyone else nervous ?

[Lee-Bee]

I've not heard about this Lee-Bee. Is there any published info about this that could bring me up to speed? I haven't heard a peep about this!

It's been in the paper for at least 2 weeks now. It has a weird name (EV-D68 ), not as easy to remember as Ebola. It's a 'cousin' of sorts to polio but different enough that the polio vaccine doesn't protect. It's been around for a long time (nothing new) it just seems to be more prevalent this year so is in the news. There are a handful of children in hospitals across the provinces with it.

Just be aware, wash your hands often and stay healthy!

Not meaning to make this a for or against vaccination debate but do you think perhaps it is similar to the measles outbreak not to long ago and that as more and more parents choose not to vaccinate that more things are coming up and obviously as they mutate they are no longer covered by the regular childhood vaccinations? Just a thought

This brings to mind the threat of shingles. Just wondering if anybody has had them. Also if anybody has had the immunization against it.
