Out Of Control EV-D68 VIRUS kills a man in British Columbia, Canada |

The Canadian Center for Disease Control has confirmed that a twenty-five year old man has died from the EV-D68 virus. The man’s family has confirmed that his name is Reuben Deuling, and that he is from the lower mainland of B.C.

The man was admitted to the hospital about a week before his passing, and his condition rapidly deteriorated. It was reported that Reuben Deuling did suffer from bad asthma, and his father described him as suffering from a massive asthma attack.

The EV-D68 virus is a new kind of virus that is much like a normal flu, but does contain several distinct differences. The US CDC has linked the virus to causing paralysis and neurological symptoms, but it appears that Reuben Deuling did not suffer from any of these problems. The virus has caused thousands of reported cases in the US, and there have also been a number of cases in Canada. This includes 30 persons in BC, and another eighty persons in Ontario.

However, it is not standard for persons in both countries to be tested for the virus, and most persons will not go to the hospital as the result of having what is a simple flu. This means that the number of persons with the virus is probably far higher. The virus typically infects young persons, but officials have stated that the death of Reuben Deuling demonstrates that adults should be concerned. In Canada, the virus has infected persons between the age of one and eighty.

The virus has killed a reported seven persons in the US, and the number of persons with it will continue to grow until the end of flue seasons. Persons with the virus should avoid public places, get plenty of rest and fluids, and seek medical treatment if their condition deteriorates.
