I <3 Taiwan

There are outbreaks of Coxsackievirus A24 in Taiwan!
Similar to Julia's previous article, the people are suffering from a disease known as "acute hemorrhagic conjuctivitis" more commonly known as pink eye. There are a total of 157 elementary and junior high school students infected as of Tuesday.

It's a long shot but I wonder if Julia's case and the case in Taiwan are related.

In addition if you want more information about the Cold Medicine issues that are occuring, here's a link to CNN. FDA panel: No Cold Medicines to Children Under 6.
