Meningitis has recently killed over 8 people in the us. The number of affected people are spreading across America to 97 people in 23 states. The Meningitis Outbreak is caused by a defective steroid given to people with back injuries. The drug has been given to over 13,000 people.

I hope the drug doesn't affect more people. 97 out of 13000 isn't a lot and I hope the number stays down, but they should still recall the drug ASAP
I hope that the people that are affected get better as soon as possible! Maybe they should find an alternative of the drug if it is getting people sick. Hopefully no one else gets meningitis from the steroid.
That's crazy! I actually looked up what meningitis is a couple weeks ago for another reason, and it is a very serious sickness! Hopefully they can find a way to help these people and hopefully they stopped using the steroid that has been causing it.
ok thats weird. I guess i didn't know that it was that common. Especially in the United States. With 23 states that are infected lets just hope it doesnt come to Harlan like that.
I feel bad for the people who died from this, but I hope no one else dies from Meningitis, and they get the sickness controled
If more and more people keep coming up sick we definitely have a big problem on our hands! I think they should have dome more careful experimentation with the drug before they gave it to so many people.
Hopefully this "Outbrack" doesn't get worse. It's horrible taht Eight people died here in the US. I hope it doesn't spread too anymore people. They should recall this drug ASAP. Hopefully no one else gets affected!
They should probably stop giving people this drug if there get sick. They should try to find something that wont make people sick.
Well i hope that this outbreak doesnt get anyworse! America does not need it! I hope that those with it get better soon.
