[va-bird] West Nile in Annandale

Thanks to Bob Abrams for his clarification. he is correct.  I did not mean to 
imply that a dead or live bird can transmit the disease to humans. Only 
mosquitoes can.  Moreover, humans seem to be a poor host for the virus. 
Apparently only people with already compromised immune systems can succumb to 
this affliction.  The disease is more of a threat to birds than mammals, 
including humans.  I merely meant to inform, not to frighten.
