Personally, I'm not worried. I work at a shop surrounded by WNV-positive pools. The chances of serious illness is only one in eighty cases. I've got a bigger chance of dying on I-215 on the way home today. Even if someone did develop the disease, it would probably be impossible to prove where they caught it. I'll read about it in the papers if it comes to that. I'm sorry Joe, I can see where you're coming from, but I'm too busy just surviving to worry about what the local astronomy clubs are doing. I have a mild allergy to certain insect bites, I always dowse myself with DEET whenever I go out to SPOC anyway. Or anywhere, for that matter.

A check of the Utah Department of Health website, Bureau of Epidemiology, shows that Salt Lake county has by far the largest number of WNV-positive pools, as well as number of confirmed human cases of the disease.
You are probably at a greater risk of being infected by a mosquito carrying the disease in Salt Lake County, than in Tooele county. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
