Sports, Community Events Canceled
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- After three days of spraying in northern Sacramento County, Vector Control is shifting its focus to the southern area.
Sacramento Health Officer Dr. Glennah Trochet announced Thursday that there are now 33 West Nile virus cases in the county, 12 of which are potentially life-threatening.
"Yes, it is an epidemic," Trochet said.
Vector Control officials said that there are some sites in the southern part of the county that have "extremely high mosquito-infection rates." But they added they believe the aerial insecticide spraying over the past few days has been effective in the fight against the mosquito population.

Interesting, Sacramento area would not be what KGO was talking about, they said local.
The Needles, California to Laughlin, Nevada area was sprayed about 2 months ago, including Bullhead City, Arizona.
This was on the local radio station, KAAA in Kingman.
I thought the first reported case was terrorism, when a couple crows fell out of the sky and instantly they sprayed the whole area, New Jersey? New York?
Needles, Laughlin and Bullhead are on the Colorado River, so could have mosquitos.
