There's nothing exotic about Enterovirus 68.
It's been circulating for decades. And there have been previous outbreaks.
Why is there an outbreak now?
Because school started this week. And kids typically pick their noses and don't cover their faces when they sneeze or cough. Kids are the Typhoid Marys of upper respiratory infections.
Homeschooling is starting to look a lot better.

I keep away from kids as much as fucking possible. And this is why.

No shit. The few times I've been sick as an adult it's always been after exposure to sick kids - never sick adults.
Seriously, I don't know why they don't just use kids as biological weapons. Forget actually going to the trouble of weaponising pathogens - just drop a clutch of coughing, hacking, sneezing toddlers in the area and watch as everyone is taken down!

I've gotten colds etc from kids at work. The two things I've exposed to at work that could have killed me were from recreational drug users. The violence, mostly parents.
