These fears are very real for it is probable now that the fugitive terrorist bin Laden could purchase nuclear weapons from the new Pakistani leader, especially if the Western nations impose economic sanctions against the new regime. Money runs a nation and if the money flow decreases due to the sanctions, bin Laden is only too willing to give some to Pakistan in exchange for some nukes. Health officials warned residents to protect themselves from mosquito bites after some mosquitoes trapped near this West Texas city tested positive for St Louis encephalitis, a potentially fatal virus, Reuters reported. The St Louis strain of encephalitis, which mosquitoes pick up from birds and can pass to humans, was briefly suspected in a New York City outbreak that killed five people and made 50 ill last month before officials identified that bug as West Nile-like virus. In El Paso, an industrial city on the border with Mexico, health officials said the St Louis virus was found in a batch of mosquitoes trapped October 4 on a Rio Grande levee behind a metals factory.
Symptoms range from fever and headaches to muscle weakness and even coma.
First, it was New York City and now, it's West Texas. Mosquitoes in the past have been known to spread the HIV virus from one human to another and now, the St Louis strain of encephalitis could be spread the same way. God is beginning to judge America for its moral decline and its turning away from God. HIV, TB, malaria, Ebola, encephalitis, etc., are the wages of sin. The increase incidence of these pestilence s points to the closeness of the Tribulation period and the judgement of God upon the nations of the world.
