Quality

I came across this article today and found it very difficult to read or make sense of and there is lots of information simply omitted from sentences. I was going to try to fix the grammatical errors, but as stated some statements are missing the actual data that is their subject. 66.87.91.123 (talk) 16:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy

Is anyone trying to keep this page accurate/impartial? According to the CDC, 43 states have confirmed cases. Also, singling out cases in California as worthy of mentioning seems suspect, possibly POV. Maybe a list of states (for US)/provinces (for Canada) and number of cases? Also, just today, a boy as confirmed to have died from Enterovirus D68. 74.88.133.134 (talk) 20:25, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This page does need major work. Fortunately, as the cases proliferate, so will the contributors. --Monochrome_Monitor 21:37, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There was news today

That a preschooler died, the death being attributed to EV-D68. As it is a new story and autopsy results are not in yet and other factors could arise, I suggest we await further news before considering adding it here.Wzrd1 (talk) 08:19, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
