Note: Prediction #2 (emailed to 5
persons on 8/16/00)==> "There will be a lull
8/12-8/20 in terms of onsets of WNV disease" --
based on my 8/16/00 review of AirNow and weather
predictions of cool weather, which usually means less
ozone. This prediction worked well, however,
I could have better predicted the lull if I had weather
or monitor staion data. I had not yet began reviewing
NYCDOH press releases. |

2 mosqP in SI (Tottenville) [PR96-915]. Prediction
#3, emailed on Aug 20: I contradicted NYT (8/8/00) quote
of Ward Stone (DEC) who stated that WNV activity would
"amplify" from "mid-August until Labor
Day." I stated that 8/12/00 was the peak of the
epidemic. I didn't foresee AirNow not portraying haze
during the following days. If I had been watching the
weather I might have taken into account the high
temperature and haze of 8/15-8/16 and modified the
prediction. |

Predicting a lull for this area was
risky because of the potential for belated findings and
collections, brought about by the 8/11/00 smog. |

1 crow in
Queens (Cambria Pk) [PR87-901]; 1 fishcrow in Brooklyn
(Ft. Hamilton) [PR82-829] Note: Prediction #2 re lull
in WNV activity cut short by abberative WNV activity (in
terms of AirNow map correlations). These bird findings
could be from 8/11-8/15 smog. However, weather report
reveals haze 8/15, also 8/16/00 during 2am-9am (refinery
emissions?) AirNow covers only 10am-12pm). AirNow can be
grossly revised. Monitor
station data indicates ozone. |

Kills) [PR81-825] Note: This
WNV activity confounds the toxin theory (need NYCDOH
spreadsheet and EPA monitor station data, for accuracy).
It could be explained by 8/16-8/18 haze and Monday calls
being previously deferred calls (gov offices closed over
weekend). Though 8/20 shows no sign of haze on the hourly
weather report, the daily indicates haze. [Later: EPA
monitor station data gave sense to this.] |
