With the 500-odd worries that Germans have on their plate....comes a new one....West Nile Virus.
N-TV (German commercial news) reports that there is now a chance that the virus has entered Germany.
Roughly 40 people dead in southern Europe this year from the virus.
The experts say that most folks who get it.....end up with just swollen lymph nodes, some minor fever and some headaches/joint pain. They even suggest that some folks don't even realize what they have and don't go to the doctor. So at the end of the spectrum.....the one-percent group.....are the ones who have a serious reaction, and end up dying.
It'll be curious how the news media informs the public and tries to educate them on the virus.
