If oregon is one of the 2 states without infection, why is it covering so much of the news?

I spend half my time in Seattle. Though I am in my 20's, I fear for the health of my little cousin and her friends. I currently am experiencing symptoms similar to the flu, which I believe I caught from my sister, who was experiencing the same symptoms last week.

Seeing that pestilence is making a comeback, some people in charge of corporations and governments are worsening famine, war has worsened in a couple of areas and is threatening to worsen or start in other areas, and pollution is only getting worse, we might be living towards the end of days.

Huh? My apoligies if I come off as rude or blunt, but how does that have to do with this new enteirovirus?

Sorry, I was at first thinking about how Enteriovirus could infect loved ones and how bad that was, then I went a bit off-topic.

There have been reports of children with this virus being paralysed.  I watched a news report last night in which a medical expert stated that this virus is related to the polio virus.  Nature does come up with these things, and we are helpless to stop it.  Best we can do is develop counters after the fact.
