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.
