Week 6-7

 Like many of the other counties in Colorado, Weld has officially had their first positive WNV mosquitos. We had a huge jump in positive mosquitoes from our first + week to now. Every zone in Weld has mosquitos with WNV. However despite the unusual amount of rain Weld has been getting out overall mosquito numbers are pretty average. I do wonder how the high levels of positive mosquitos but normal # will affect the number of human cases in Weld. The unfortunate part about doing WNV work is that even when we do get human cases there isn't much we can do other than palliative care and prevention education. We've been trying to do senior education about WNV and providing mosquito repellent but it's also hard to always avoid mosquitos, no matter what age you are. But hopefully it will help at least a couple people feel more prepared for WNV season.
