Mutated Cold Virus has killed 10 in U.S.
Health officials said that the Mutated Cold virus has killed 10 people in the last 18 months. Adenoviruses are usually not considered deadly and for the most part just cause a common respiratory infection. However a new variant, Ad14, has lead to 10 deaths.
Most people have absolutely nothing to worry about. It’s a very uncommon infection.
It may be known by to some as the “boot camp flu”. Earlier this year it was responsible for infecting hundreds at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. It lead to the death of one 19 year old and sent five to ICU.
It’s alarming that healthy young-adults easily became infected. As with most infections, those with weak immune systems are at more risk.
If anything comes up in the news about this strain all be sure to get it posted…
