Three people recently have tested positive for the West Nile virus according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

Cases have been reported in the Lincoln and Omaha areas, as well as in the Three Rivers Health Department area, which covers Dodge, Saunders and Washington counties.

Dr. Tom Safranek of HHS said the three are the first human West Nile cases so far this season.

West Nile virus is transmitted through mosquito bites. Mosquitoes get it by feeding on infected birds and pass it to people and animals.

HHS suggests using mosquito repellent, wearing long sleeves and draining standing water to reduce the likelihood of West Nile.

Last year, there were 28 human cases in Nebraska and one death.

Most people with West Nile virus will have no symptoms or only mild flu-like symptoms such as a fever and headache. Those over 50 and anyone with weakened immune systems are at increased risk for a more severe infection.

Many domains of single life are perceived more positively than married life - PsyPost Many domains of single life are perceived more positively than married life - PsyPost Posted: 14 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST New research suggests that Americans do not tend to perceive married life more positively than single life, except when it comes to feelings of confidence, contentment and security.

Creative Collaborations For Helping People With Disabilities Gain New Skills - Forbes

People with disabilities are the largest minority group in the U.S. at over 60 million, yet they often remain largely unrepresented.
