Every day, hundreds of Illinoisans get the flu. How can we know that there aren't more (maybe a lot more) cases of West Nile out there that never go to a doctor because they aren't severe enough?

What difference does it make? If they didn't get sick enough to be harmed, and there is no specific treatment for the illness, why test other then for epidemiological tracking? This disease is here to stay. We might as well get used to it.

Yeah, like we got used to polio and small pox. Medical science will never whip this one. We might as well give up. That's the American way.
