It looks like the West Nile is not exclusive to the west. A New Jersey man died from the West Nile virus last week. The article does not give his age, as most of the deaths have been to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
*Warning Conspiracy Theory*
I have been thinking about this a lot, since the FFP has seemingly turned into a warning banner for the explosion of strange viral and bacterial infections flooding the mainstream news. Most of these infections are not extremely virulent, Ebola being the obvious exception, so it makes you wonder why now? These diseases are targeting the physically weaker of the society, culling the herd if you will. Is this man made (purposeful or otherwise), or is his Mother Earth balancing the scales?
