We Care More about Ebola Than This Disease

From the NY Daily News: A 21-month-old girl is the first person in Michigan to die from the virus that has caused severe respiratory illness across the country, state health officials said Saturday.
Madeline Reid died Friday afternoon from enterovirus D68, according to Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. Its chief medical officer, Dr. Rudolph Valentini, said in a statement that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the illness after the Clinton Township girl's arrival, but did not specify which day she arrived....
A New Jersey state medical examiner said last week that a 4-year-old boy died of the virus, and the CDC says five people infected with the virus have died, but it's not clear what role the virus played. The CDC said in a release this week that the virus has sickened 691 people in 46 states and Washington, D.C..  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/michigan-toddler-madeline-reid-dies-enterovirus-d68-article-1.1971157
This disease has sickened and killed more people in the U.S. than Ebola, by a huge, huge margin.
But little attention is being paid attention to this virus. 
Why?
Could it be that this deadly virus came over the border by some kids from Central/South America and it can be directly tied to the extreme incompetence of President Obama and his open border policies?
