The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has stumbled on a disease that has reemerged, disguised in a different, still highly infectious, form. No, it's not the Plague, or Ebola, or SARS or Legionnaire's Disease; in fact, it is only fatal under certain conditions wherein which individuals do not have access to adequate medical care. It is, however, extremely dangerous to entire populations and can cause widespread heartache, suicide, and mass exodus to other countries to escape its effects.
For more about this dangerous infection, please read below the fold.
Spread of this disease has been traced to several different factors, many of which are common to other afflictions, including ignorance, rapid spreading in closely packed crowds and difficult access to the facts through the mainstream media. Rumor and word-of-mouth can also cause problems.
According to a spokesperson for the CDC, the reason you have not heard more about this disease is because the agency has been completely stymied in its attempts to develop a vaccine, and wants to avoid the attendant panic that would surely develop if the disease is publicized before a vaccine can be brought to market in sufficient quantities to protect the tens of millions of individuals who will potentially be infected.
As a reader of this diary, you have self-identified as a mature, responsible individual who is not prone to panic, and who insists on facts, not rumors. You, and you alone, can know the name given to this affliction. It's called Trumpitis.
