Bird tests positive for West Nile virus in Fairfield

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:03:34 GMT

(BCN) -- A California scrub jay has tested positive for West Nile virus in Fairfield, the first case reported so far this year for Solano County, health officials said. Thus far there haven't been any reported cases this year of human infection from the West Nile virus, said Solano County Public Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas. "This serves as a reminder to our community that risks can be greatly reduced by taking simple precautions," Matyas said in a release on July 5. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito after the insects become infected by feeding on birds carrying the virus. The virus has killed 270 persons in California between 2010 and 2022. While most people infected with the virus do not develop symptoms, health officials say one in five may experience mild flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and swollen lymph glands.

MIAMI (AP) — Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are asking a judge to postpone his criminal trial without setting a new date as he stands accused of illegally hoarding classifed documents at his Florida estate.In a late Monday filing, Trump’s defense attorneys said the case was “extraordinary,” with a large volume of documents and footage to be reviewed as the former president leads the race for the Republican nomination to unseat President Joe Biden. They cited challenges to select jurors and concerns about whether he would get a fair trial if scheduled before the November 2024 election.“The government’s request to begin a trial of this magnitude within six months of indictment is unreasonable, telling, and would result in a miscarriage of justice,” said the document filed by Chris Kise, one of Trump’s lawyers. The Justice Department had previously proposed to set the trial date for Dec. 11.Earlier on Monday, Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork saying the...
