Virginia Department of Health is reporting it is a statewide outbreak. 165 outbreaks (multiple cases per cluster) in the last 6 months - up from 45-60 in a typical year.

It’s highly contagious and can be spread for days/weeks even after fever subsides. Get out your bleach and hand sanitizer! Easily spread on surfaces as well as by touching, coughing or sneezing.

Good lord! That's crazy! The last reported case of this was before most of us were even born!!!!!!

What's next, the plague will be brought back from some cave overseas??

This unchecked immigration HAS TO STOP! Completely! There needs to be quarrantine facilities for ALL coming into the country.

Things like this should be traced by the CDC and find the orgin person who brought it into the country, then trace it back to where the outbreak came from and treat those people to erradicate it.

Stop it.

This is not from "immigration," you POS idiot. Since you went to immigration your boy Trump has done shit at the border hence OPIODs and other drugs are coming in like crazy, killing people.

It is 100% from Anti Vax home grown little Christian National twats. HFM always spreads. The massive spread is occuring because of the stupidity of Christian Nationalists.

This is nothing compared to what is going to come.

What does HFM have to do with anti-vaxxers? We don’t have a vaccine for it.

Anti Vaxers are why this is spreading they refuse to keep their kids home. They refuse to go to qualified doctors for good diagnosis. Nothing to do with vaccines it goes hand in hand with their utter stupidity.

That seems like a stretch. HFM is a very common childhood illness that is contagious before people realize their kids are sick or what they might have. It normally spreads through the preschool set. What’s unusual this year is how many older kids are getting it. That has nothing to do with anti-vaxxers.

Nevermind, coming from a ranching and ag family I read that as Hoof and Mouth Disease, the zoonotic one. Still, it seems most HFM cases in recent years are originating in China, so that would be a good place to start, to quarrantine all travelers from there.

Really stop this nonsense! It went through my daughter’s preschool 20 years ago. But since Covid many were not exposed in their younger years this here we are today

You are so stupid--it's embarrassing. Hand Foot and Mouth is common in little kids in the USA. My kid got it in preschool. In Maryland. Stop your lies and stop blaming China.
