Once West Nile Virus gets established in an area, it will always be there as a risk to the public. In other words, we may as well just abandon SPOC permanently (and urge club members living there to move immediately). According to the CDC, most people infected with WNV do not have symptoms. About 20% of people who are infected develope a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal illness. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com>To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com>Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2018, 4:35:46 PM MDTSubject: [Utah-astronomy] Fw: West Nile Virus confirmed at Stansbury Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone Begin forwarded message: On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, 4:33 PM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote: I call upon the SLAS Board to immediately cancel all events at SPOC.

Be sure to liberally apply a 100% DEET solution if you head out to any star parties at SPOC, until the first killing frost of the season. I've tried the Boy Scout trick of rubbing my skin with a dryer sheet, it's fairly effective but not 100%. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
