The plague is upon us
More West Nile cases, including an older Valley guy who died earlier this month.
Three more human cases of West Nile virus were confirmed today by Los Angeles County health officials, including a San Fernando Valley man who died from a variety of ailments. The man, who was in his 80s, had multiple chronic health problems and county officials said they could not determine the extent to which West Nile contributed to his death. The man died earlier this month following a brief hospitalization. “It is not possible to determine whether the virus was the cause of the man’s death or whether there were multiple causes,” said John Schunhoff, chief deputy director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
