they say some of the symptoms of West Nile virus was throwing up, and having a high fever, like you have the flu

maybe they need to check and see if the babies had West Nile virus they said it could be bad for children and the elderly

I would think that if one's child was throwing up, and had a fever, parents would keep an eye on them. You don't drink or get high, you don't sleep, except maybe in shifts, you check the child's temperature often, and if it reaches a certain degree, you take them to the ER, regardless of what time of day or night it is.

Like FoxyLady, I to am curious if there are any similarities related to the 2 deaths. It is rather odd that 2 children in the same county had high fever the night before then passed away. Very sad needless to say. I pray for the families of the kids, it has to be heart wrenching.

I think it is news because both children are from the same county, both had high fevers before both were found unresponsive! I am assuming they are looking into disease, infection, virus...anything that would explain the similarities!

if there's no foul play suspected then why is it news? Let those families grieve
