Health officials: West Nile virus detected in 2 New York City residents, record number of mosquitos

, and the virus has been detected in a record number of mosquitoes across all five boroughs.

So far, there has been a total of 1,068 positive mosquito pools, compared to 779 at this time last year.According to health officials, most people infected with West Nile virus display no symptoms and go on to fully recover. Some patients develop fever and other symptoms, including headaches, muscle aches and extreme fatigue.

Let me guess: since this has not been a wet year, the record number of monitors are due to some policy reducing the eradication effort, right?

West Nile we know - can mosquitos carry COVID, Monkeypox or polio? Anyone know? Just curious...
