Is the eee mosquito virus slowly going to increase and a lot of people will die ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE) is the most dangerous viral brain infection in the US (usually fatal or crippling) but also the rarest; the mosquito types that transmit EEE virus are uncommon in US and only 2% of infections lead to encephalitis. Only 5-8 cases in the entire country each of the past 6 years. A new outbreak may be underway in New England, but still rare, 4 cases in MA.
