BOISE -- West Nile concerns now have the attention of the governor.
The latest number of human West Nile cases in Idaho has climbed to 132. Of those, 34 are from Ada County. (We live in Ada County.)
Eleven of those infected have serious neuro-invasive forms of the virus. The numbers have prompted Ada County commissioners to declare a state of emergency.
The commissioners met to hear the data this afternoon about the numbers of mosquitoes in Ada County that actually carry the virus, and the growing number of people who have contracted the virus.
