Number of patients with paralyzing illness increasing, CDC reports - UPI
UPI reports: "A mysterious condition that causes paralysis in children continues to baffle public health officials. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 90 cases of acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM, in people in 27 states. [...] The polio-like condition brings on respiratory illnesses between three and 10 days prior to the victim experiencing limb weakness. Some of those victims experience paralysis. [...] No one has died of AFM in 2018, and about half of patients fully recover from the condition. However, Messonnier said, the other half suffer from permanent disability."

Comment: Please join me in praying that the medical community will soon discover the cause of this illness and develop methods to treat and prevent it.
