If we had point of care testing for West Nile Virus infections in primary care and urgent care settings we would pick up so many more cases.

I’m also guessing Dr Fauci was diagnosed because either he suggested the test as an ID specialist, or his 103 fever sparked a good work up. Most cases are missed like you said.

Mosquito dunks are good for very local control, too - and more targeted with minimal collateral harm to other insects.

Thank you Doc! We now have to worry about "Sloth Fever?!" As a Floridian, you know we're gonna have to deal with this one. LOL.
