SS, Faith, thank you for this interesting post! I got a little curious and thought that there might be a connection to our disease so I looked up that Picornavirus..
Picornavirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Picornaviruses are separated into nine distinct genera and include many important pathogens of humans and animals. The diseases they cause are varied, ranging from acute "common-cold"-like illnesses, to
poliomyelitis, to chronic infections in livestock. Two main categories are
enteroviruses and
rhinoviruse.
Could the cause be a mutated virus strain? I'm thinking: is there a relationship between our disease, new emerging diseases in animals and in plants/trees such as 'sudden oak death'?
Is something happening in nature? A fatal virus, transmitted over insects
that are part of M? YES, I think so! The Baculovirus and the CaMV which are both used in bio-insecticides are IMO highly suspect.
