A few weeks ago top US medicine man Anthony Fauci spent a few days in hospital with West Nile virus, saying “by far, this is the worst I’ve ever been with an illness.”
Bloomberg of all places had a brief write up about the brain damage caused by a “mild” case of Covid.
I know I am much more stupid after my one case of Covid. So much that I can’t do my job. I also have an impaired memory. Can’t do a thinking job when you can no longer think. I would love an mri.
83 yrs old, west Nile and 3 covid cases. That doesn’t sound good to me.
Same here. Had Covid once and haven't been able to think properly since. I can't read fiction anymore, because I can't remember who the characters are and what's already happened. This has been going on since early 2020, so I'm pretty sure it's permanent.
Covid absolutely must affect the ability of many infected to exercise good judgement. Otherwise, how in the world can someone like Anthony Fauci contract COVID three (yes, THREE) times?
Unfortunately for our highly credentialed elite, mosquitos and viruses don't give a whiff about how toney a location in which one to be afflicted may reside.
Obviously it is time to step off the continuous growth merry-go-round, but lack of judgement coupled with avarice and greed will impede a sensible response.
I had no idea it was even here! Our building has drainage issues so we have an extreme mosquito population. We try our best to avoid and reduce them but this adds another layer of importance to protect and try to eradicate. Thank you for this!
And the mosquito is out state bird. Not really, but we have many mosquitoes and they can be quite large. In MN, they bite through our clothes, so long sleeves aren’t enough.
I get bitten almost everyday. If you go outside, you will get bitten.
MN is also the top turkey producer in the country. Turkeys have bird flu, the cows and milk have bird flu, the air has sarscov2, the birds and mosquitoes have dengue, zika, west Nile, the chicka disease and who knows what else.
As Nate points out, we have deregulated and damaged immune systems from covid, (in the us), which will lead to more deaths. The worker shortage will keep getting worse.
But also as Nate says- as a society we keep saying what the wife of a torturer mass murderer said, “it is what it is.”🤦🏾♀️
Nice write up but WNV is not the only thing increasing due to climate change. look at Dengue, EEE, Zika or Chikungunya. Mosquito-borne vector ( as with most arthropods vectors) are extending their range. I wrote about these and more.

THANK YOU NATE!!!
I share your frustration!

Thanks yes this is an article about one of those
Another danger to look out for. Thanks for sharing :)
