The Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District found a dead bird that tested positive for West Nile virus. Please remember to follow these instructions to report any dead birds you find, and remember to drain standing water to prevent mosquito reproduction and the possible spread of the virus. https://alamedapost.com/news/first-west-nile-virus-positive-dead-bird-2025-found-alameda-county/

“Beside death, West Nile virus – which has been detected in all but four US states this year – can also cause permanent neurological problems in people, he said.”

Watching Tony #Fauci on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show talking about his near-death experience just this August with #WestNileVirus. It’s often fatal with older folks and usually has permanent neurological effects when it’s not.
He says that he has completely recovered but he looked more fatigued than I have ever seen him.

Dr. Fauci describes his recent more-than-just-a-brush experience with #WestNileVirus and the pathogen's growing footprint thanks to #ClimateChange.
It's a dangerous sleeper, symptomatically.

West Nile virus is active in Alameda County, and mosquitos are likely to spread the disease. To protect yourself and your neighbors, dump and drain standing water on your property to decrease opportunity for mosquitoes to breed. Remember these three other tips to reduce bites.

That sounds serious. Hope #Fauci is ok but, since it's only transmitted by mosquito bites, I wonder how he got it.
An outbreak was reported in East CoCoCounty but there are no standing water sources around my house & I haven't seen a mosquito around my house for years. Fingers crossed. 🤞

"Anthony Fauci recovering after hospitalization for West Nile virus"
Aha! Just as the GOP thought. The fact that vaxman got West Nile virus is proof that vaccines don't work and that he is in fact a serpent person from the Nile!
(Seriously. I wish him prompt recovery.)

Hey #SouthSanJose! If you live in these zip codes, 94301, 94304, 94305, and 94306, please read this notification that I got from #SantaClaraCounty #VectorControl.
#WestNileVirus causes symptoms similar to flu. There is no cure for it nor is there a vaccine. It doesn't kill many people (400 is "not many"), but if you are immuno-compromised in any way, you would want to avoid it.
"Mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus have been detected near your neighborhood. To reduce the threat to you and your family, the County of Santa Clara Vector Control District will be reducing the mosquito population within the 94301, 94304, 94305, and 94306 ZIP Codes. The localized treatment will use truck-mounted equipment and is scheduled to begin Thursday, July 27 around 10 p.m., and last approximately four hours.
There is no need to relocate during the treatment, but those who wish to minimize exposure for family members or pets may choose to close windows and remain inside during the scheduled time period."
