Ninth Child Dies in Virus Outbreak at N.J. Center

Oct. 29, 2018 -- A ninth child has died in an adenovirus outbreak at a New Jersey rehabilitation center, state health officials said Sunday.

They said the unidentified child who died Saturday evening at the Wanaque Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Haskell was "medically fragile," CBS News reported.

There have been 25 cases associated with the outbreak.

This is sad... and seems so unnecessary...

Chimerix has had brincidofovir (aka CMX) available since 2011... my daughter received it for her adenovirus infection and it worked great...
