Authorities warn of Murray Valley encephalitis virus detected in NSWAuthorities are warning Murray Valley residents after a case of encephalitis virus was identified in the New South Wales town of Menindee. NSW Health says the detection is likely related to the recent flooding. Encephalitis can be fatal, but most people don’t experience symptoms. Maybe you should institute a pre-sunset curfew, and arrest those who are caught out after 5pm. Isn't THAT how we handle things these days? Good thing we genetically engineered and released these mosquitoes to eliminate a different virus then huh? Not to be dismissed !
