You may not read this soon enough, but at the end of the first hour of "All Things Considered, " and probably also available on their website (npr.org), I heard the end of a report on the West Nile Virus. One of the physicians from Fort Collins, CO, wondered "How soon I'll be seeing dead crows in my yard?"

What's our concern here? I hate to think of some kind of mass eradication program. What's been done so far in the east? The report said that the virus has been carried as far west as Lake Erie.
