Daniel Blumenthal People Quotations

I don't think people should be unduly alarmed, ... They should try to keep the mosquito population down in their own back yard ... but I don't think they should lose sleep over it or lock themselves in the house because they're afraid to go out and expose themselves to mosquitoes.

Treatment for those infected is not very good. Many people have died,

There were 284 deaths from West Nile virus last year, (but) 30,000 deaths from pneumonia and influenza, and those are diseases that we can immunize against, ... So this is still a quite rare condition and not something that people should be overly concerned about.
