My bad.
What I meant to have said was that "in the current scare," there have been no
reported cases of encephalitis in humans (only in the sentinel chickens) to my
knowledge. Yes, humans do catch it, and one of my wife's friends died of the
disease many years back.
Someone else reported that there have been some confirmed cases this time.
Apparently, I missed the report.
