Polio Detected in US
What's most concerning IMHO is that this appears to be from community spread with no known recent travel history (polio apparently incubates in 7-21 days so they would have caught it in the last few weeks).<p>Even more troubling is that they were paralyzed which means they were one of the less than 1% of polio cases that turn into a severe event like being paralyzed.  The vast majority of cases are asymptomatic or just give you diarrhea.<p>How many people could be out in the community and spreading it without anyone knowing?
