***the Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus***

Anyone remember when VEE (Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis) swept up from South America, through Mexico and into the US back around 1993-94? It hit the horse herds bad, and infected some people.

Wonder if this is the same thing.

It is not the same, but it is a closely related virus. Either one can kill you.
