Bounty hunter Fitzpatrick drives for regulation and claims hunts are routine

West Nile outbreak 2003 largest yet in United States

ATLANTA AP The 2003 West Nile virus outbreak reached 9,006 cases, more than double 2002’s 4,156, but deaths and brain damage were lower. CDC officials warned of potential large outbreaks again and began funding state health departments to monitor and educate. Dr Lyle Petersen said preparedness remains critical as mosquitoes spread the virus from birds. West Nile arrived in 1999 in New York and now covers most states except Oregon and Washington. Chicago saw big 2002 outbreaks but not in 2003.
