The West Nile Virus has hit Dallas County in Texas, which has killed 10 people and infected hundreds of others.
Planes began spraying for harmful mosquitoes in Dallas north of Interstate 30 and east of the Dallas North Tollway at 10 p.m. Thursday night and continued until early Friday morning.

Now is a good time to ask how West Nile Virus came across the ocean to the USA.

CA is next. And you guys won't spray, so it's going to be uncontrolled.
Ask the Cubans.
West Nile....wonder where that came from?
West Nile...Egypt...’Arab Spring”
An AQ sponsored bio attack?
LOL—let’s say you get your answer. What makes it a good time to ask?
I haven’t even seen a mosquito this summer.
You can ask but it’s like the 1k varieties of plant and animal life that were not native to the US, and just somehow got “loose”. Throw in fire ants, boas, and kudzu.
Horses. No joke.

Are they spraying with DDT?
Time to bring back DDT!
West Nile is a province in northwestern Uganda.
Facepalm
It was spread by Horses and the first cases outside of Africa were with Alexander the Great’s forces.
It has been around for thousands of years.
Apparently your fellow Californians have. 8 new human cases this week, 211 positive mosquito samples this week, 56 sacrificial chickens this week - all in CA, per the CA official website.
Also, CA West Nile human fatalities are up to 9 so far this year.
TX can’t spray with DDT, but we’re using Duet.

” What makes it a good time to ask?”
It’s starting to be a serious problem.
Seems to be spreading!
And horses from the Middle East carried the virus to the USA in the ‘60’s?
