A man in Boise contracted West Nile Virus, he believes it was in a park close to Eagle Idaho which is about ten miles from here or about 22-25 minutes depending on traffic. In other words it is a suburb of Boise.
KTVB asked the department why Bottoms case hadn't been reported.
...the Department of Health and Welfare wouldn't comment on Bottoms case specifically, citing HIPPA laws, they did say that some people who may have been exposed to West Nile in the past may still test positive for the virus but don't have a current infection.
So that is how they are manipulating the numbers putting people in the category of having had the infection somewhere in the past. This man is reporting acute symptoms, not chronic ones.
"...the Department of Health and Welfare says drain any standing water on your property..." They are giving advice to drain any standing water.
I have already made a video about the overwatering in the park system.
The Department of Health and Welfare recommends people not leave standing water on their property, while the park system does that on a regular basis as their standard practice. Yesterday someone at the health dept told me mosquitos were probably laying eggs in the river, no they don't use moving water, just standing water, so the ponds will be breeding grounds.
The Dept of Health and Welfare needs to deal with this standing water issue because the Parks Dept does not receive information on any level.
