West Nile Virus

 

The US is in the middle of it's worst outbreak of West Nile ever.

So I got to wondering where is all of this West nile anyways? On the internet I found west nile maps and stats The url is diseasemaps.usgs.gov The Number one state with West Nile
by a long shot, is Texas. Texas has 733 cases. Mississippi is next with 98 cases. But Texas? West Nile is spread by mosquitos. I thought Texas was in drought. Maybe God is punishing those texas republicans. Either that or they've got a pond behind the shack. Or too many old tires out back. Illinois was fourteenth on the list with 21 cases. But I live in Chicago. The Chicago Police have a ban on mosquitos. Last night I walked over to the farmers market and not a single bite. In Chicago we don't worry about mosquitos. Getting shot yes. Mosquitos no.
