The boy's father told investigators his son was about 10 feet ahead of the group when a mountain lion "came out of nowhere" and attacked the boy, Foy said.<br /><br />"It's quite extraordinary the lion would attack a person with so many people in the immediate vicinity," Foy said.<br /><br />He said the mountain lion attacked in the same way it would at a group of deer and targeting the easiest prey, that being the smallest member of the group.<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-26819658453675148072014-09-07T16:24:02.005-05:002014-09-07T16:24:02.005-05:00http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/07/health/respiratory-v...http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/07/health/respiratory-virus-midwest/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29<br /><br />CDC official: Virus hitting Midwest could be 'tip of iceberg'<br /><br /> A respiratory virus is sending hundreds of children to hospitals in Missouri and possibly throughout the Midwest and beyond, officials say.<br /><br />The unusually high number of hospitalizations reported now could be "just the tip of the iceberg in terms of severe cases," said Mark Pallansch, a virologist and director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Viral Diseases.<br /><br />"We're in the middle of looking into this," he told CNN on Sunday. "We don't have all the answers yet."<br /><br />Ten states have contacted the CDC for assistance in investigating clusters of enterovirus -- Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky.<br /><br />Enteroviruses, which bring on symptoms like a very intense cold, aren't unusual. They're actually common. When you have a bad summer cold, often what you have is an enterovirus, he said. The season often hits its peak in September.<br /><br />The unusual situation now is that there have been so many hospitalizations.<br /><br />The virus is sending 30 children a day to a Kansas City, Missouri, hospital, where about 15% of the youngsters were placed in intensive care, officials said.<br /><br />In a sign of a possible regional outbreak, Colorado, Illinois and Ohio are reporting cases with similar symptoms and are awaiting testing results, according to officials and CNN affiliates in those states.<br /><br />In Kansas City, about 450 children were recently treated at Children's Mercy Hospital, and at least 60 of them received intensive hospitalization, spokesman Jake Jacobson said.<br /><br />"It's worse in terms of scope of critically ill children who require intensive care. I would call it unprecedented. I've practiced for 30 years in pediatrics, and I've never seen anything quite like this," said Dr. Mary Anne Jackson, the hospital's division director for infectious diseases.<br /><br />"We've had to mobilize other providers, doctors, nurses. It's big," she said.<br />[there's a little more and a video]<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-46373719374907988922014-09-07T09:38:17.403-05:002014-09-07T09:38:17.403-05:00shark attack:
