Michael Finkelstein Quotations

We are continuing to see cases of whooping cough reported to us. And this is not surprising to us considering it can take up to three weeks to show the symptoms once you're exposed to the bacteria that causes whooping cough.

We want to be sure that the death was related to West Nile. Just because you die and you have West Nile, that doesn't mean you died of it.

both had the more severe type of West Nile virus, the neurological symptoms, and they got progressively worse in hospital.

It's important to be mindful of mosquitoes, particularly in late August and September, when West Nile is at its most risky.

In the past, we have seen more cases reported to us in September, and that's why it's important to tell people that the risk for West Nile virus is still here.

The likelihood of your coming into contact with mosquitoes depends on your surroundings.
