1100 cases in a country of 314,220,895 and we have “Mosquitopocalypse.” Over-react much?

Not wanting Hurricane Isaac to have all the fun, lefties made sure to chime in:
I hope Romney gets the West Nile when he goes to Texas.

Of course, we can’t forget that West Nile virus is caused by climate change.
Is climate change to blame for latest West Nile virus outbreak? http://t.co/mnL4vMQ5

But it’s spread by cooler weather?

Didn’t take long:

Put the numbers into context:
0.0000032% of our population has contracted a case of West Nile. @Usatoday puts it on the front page. #priorities #truth

All these West Nile deaths are being reported with "underlying medical conditions." Still filing this under hysteria.

Of course, we could ask: Does West Nile even exist?

Never, ever let the facts get in the way of some good, mass hysteria and dramatic over-reaction:

Got my first mosquito bite this summer. Man, I sure hope I don't get West Nile-like encephalitis
— Craig Mac (@Craigmac1000) August 23, 2012
Finally, West Nile = zombies. Or something.
If I got west nile I'd probably go to the mall and just start biting people like mosquitos do.
