Following the large mumps season in 2016 when 5,311 cases were reported, the highest number in a decade, it seems the viral disease continues to climb during the beginning of 2017.
According to the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data on mumps, 1,242 mumps cases have been reported through Mar. 4.
The states recording the most cases include Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma and Washington. Thirty eight states and the District of Columbia have recorded at least one case.

Gee all places with huge “immigrant” populations for all that cow cash. I would say that people playing soylent peasant should expect to enjoy numerous outbreaks that we had beaten down……but I’m afraid the communist administration managed to plant so many centers for disease cultivation in our country that we are all at risk for diseases we should not be. Would not normally be.
