west nile virus hits my home town...dammit
so im reading the paper this morning and i find that the west nile virus is now in austin texas. I mean really, Ive got enough problems, now I must concern myself with an outbreak as well? I dunna, kinda scary but in the long run I probably wont loose sleep over it. Any of you guys know anything about this virus besides what the paper says (which is jack shit btw)

Check out this link.....has some useful info:

Interesting points- less than one percent of people of people infected with the virus develop severe illness. Although if you are amongst that 1% you have a 3-15% chance of dying (these tend to be old people).
