Well - the problem is right here in Texas that's for sure......we found two
dead Blue Jays in our yard on Sunday, the street behind us found three.
I believe Louisiana is being hardest hit - especially with the swamps.....85
people have become sick with the virus, 7 have died.
It's very hard for us as we are people who spend most of our time outdoors,
as I'm sure many of you are the same. I worry about my kids but they want to
play outside too...no matter how hot. We use tons of spray and try to just
be outdoors during the day (not at dawn or dusk as this is suppose to be the
worst time).
The only good news I've heard about this virus is that someone that is
exposed can built antibodies against the virus rather than get sick....I hope
this is the case since we are outdoors so much.
