RIGHT, KELLY BE SOME LIVE IN OUR NEWSROOM. THANK YOU. >> DOCTOR ANTHONY FAUCI ISIS RECOVERING AT HOME AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED WITH THE WEST NILE VIRUS. YOU SAID HE LIKELY PICKED IT UP FROM A MOSQUITO BITE AT HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON. HE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY ACCORDING TO THE CDC ONLY AROUND 20% OF PEOPLE INFECTED WITH WEST NILE SHOW SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING FEVER, CHILLS AND FATIGUE. MEANTIME, A RISING RISK ON THE EAST COAST. THAT IS RUINING PEAK SUMMER PLANS SHUTTING DOWN ENTIRE COMMUNITIES. INFECTING MOSQUITOES ARE SPREADING A RARE BUT SERIOUS DISEASE CALLED EASTERN EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS KNOWN AS TRIPLE SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE FEVER, HEADACHE AND SEIZURES WITH SOME OF THE INFECTED DEVELOPING LONG-TERM NEUROLOGICAL ISSUES AND MASSACHUSETTS OFFICIALS ARE ISSUING A HEALTH ALERT AFTER THE STATE RECORDED ITS FIRST HUMAN CASE IN 4 YEARS IN TOTAL, 10 COMMUNITIES ARE AT RISK WITH THESE 4 TOWNS CONSIDERED CRITICAL OFFICIALS THERE ARE URGING PEOPLE TO ADHERE TO EARLY EVENING CURFEW ASKING THEM TO STAY INDOORS WHEN MOSQUITOES ARE MOST ACTIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOMOME IN NO DOCTOR KATHRYN BROWN, AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST IN MASSACHUSETTS. DR BROWN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. FIRST OF ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT AT LEAST 1 MASSACHUSETTS TOWN MAYOR HAS DECIDED TO CLOSE ITS PARKS IN FIELDS. EACH EVENING IN RESPONSE TO THIS TRIPOLI THREAT. >> NOWAK. ABSOLUTELY WHEN WE HAVE TRIPOLI AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE SORT OF LIEXPERIENCE WHERE THEY ARE. I'M NUMBER OF PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE MAKE TO HELP PROTECT PEOPLE AND THEY INCLUDE THINGS THAT YOU'RE USED TO LIKE USING HER POWER MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE USING LONG SLEEVES AND LONG PANTS. YOU KNOW, ASSUMING IT'S NOT 100 DEGREES TO REDUCE EXPOSED ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE RECOMMEND IS IN THESE AREAS REALLY HIGH RISK FROM TRIPOLI. WE RECOMMEND THAT RESCHEDULE THEIR OUTDOOR ACTIVITY TO AVOID THE HOURS BETWEEN DUSK AND DAWN. SO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU SHIFT YOUR ACTIVITY TO THE DAYTIME HOURS AND AFTER MOVED HERE, I WORKED AT A BOSTON TELEVISION STATION BEFORE THIS. SO I KNOW HOW MANY TREES ARE THERE IN MASSACHUSETTS. I KNOW HOW MUCH WATER IS THERE. >> HOW SILLY IS CAN IT BE IF SOMEONE IS TO CONTRACT OR WERE TO CONTRACT TRIPOLI. YEAH. YOU KNOW, TRIPOLI IS FORTUNATELY VERY RARE, BUT IT IS VERY SEVERE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHO CONTRACT THE DISEASE IN MASSACHUSETTS OVER TIME WE SEE THAT DEPENDING ON OUTBREAK WE CAN SEE BETWEEN 30 AND 50% OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY PASS AWAY FROM THE DISEASE. AND SO AND THAT IN ADDITION TO THAT STATISTIC YOU QUOTED EARLIER ABOUT SURVIVORS WHO ARE OFTEN LEFT WITH LOGIC DISABILITY. YOU KNOW, DOCTOR RUNNING LIKE TO SWITCH GEARS A LITTLE BIT. YOU KNOW, WE MENTIONED AT THE TOP. HOW FORMER, YOU KNOW, TOP US INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERT. >> DOCTOR ANTHONY FAUCI WAS HOSPITALIZED AND HE'S NOW OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. HE IS RECOVERING AT HOME. BUT YOU KNOW, HE CONTRACTED WEST NILE VIRUS PORTSMOUTH. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THAT. WERE YOU SURPRISED? SO ONE. I JUST WANT TO SAY I'M DELIGHTED THAT THE APARTHEID THAT HE'S RECOVERING AND THAT I HOPE HE LEAVES BEHIND THEM VERY QUICKLY. >> I'M NOT REALLY SURPRISED RATE MOSQUITOES ARE YOU NOT TALK ABOUT HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS. THEY'RE PART OF OUR SUMMER. THERE AROUND EVERYWHERE. SO I THINK JUST ILLUSTRATES THAT THE REST FOR MOSQUITO-BORNE ILLNESS EITHER WEST NILE VIRUS OR IN TRIPOLI IS REAL AND IT REALLY CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND I HOPE THAT ACTUALLY IS IMPETUS FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE THE STEPS THAT THEY SHOULD TO HELP. LET'S GET A BITE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OR I MEAN, TRULY CAN HAPPEN TO ANY LAST QUESTION FOR YOU, DOCTOR BROWN. AND I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THIS A BIT. >> BUT THERE IS THIS RECOMMENDATION FOR PEOPLE TO STAY INDOORS AFTER DARK RED DUST GOING, YOU KNOW, MOSQUITOES FROM MOST ACTIVE, BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN DO THAT. SO SO WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO STAY INSIDE. >> YEAH. I FOR SOME REASON YOU'RE NOT REALLY ABLE TO OF WHAT I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE IS THAT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS LAYERED PREVENTION STRATEGY RIGHT. SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE USING MOSQUITO REPELLENTS WITH EPA REGISTERED ACTIVE INGREDIENT ANYTIME OUTDOORS CLOTHING TO REDUCE AND EXPOSED SKIN AND THEN THIS WON'T HELP SO MUCH FOR TO BELIEVE. BUT IT DOES FOR WEST NILE VIRUS. MAKE SURE YOU'RE DUMPING STANDING WATER AROUND YOUR PROPERTY BECAUSE MOSQUITOES WILL USE THAT WATER TO B
