Would you care to point out in the article where you saw the words that you quoted? Mild heart damage does not occur. Heart damage does not occur. Damage does not even occur. The only one of those 3 words in the story is MILD and that occurance says the cases were mild. It does not mention damage.

after reading both I don't see the probem. 77 cases out of 1.65 would be rare. 34 out of 77 were hospitalized. Not even half That is exactly what the article says. I took that directly from your cut and paste.

Please explain what was wrong with the title. It just quotes the study. You may also note there were no deaths reported in the study. At least in your quote.

copy paste from my reply.

we winter in Mexico. Across the street from us was a grackle nesting tree. Just at dusk hundreds of noisy grackles would come in. Long tailed for the bird watchers in the group. They were so noisy we could not talk when we were outside. Well we could be no one could lhear you. They sell super load fire crackers here. Tried that and they would fly off but return shortly. Someone said to get a laser pointer and just hit them with that. Bought one. Paid about 50 pesos for it. With a battery in it. I hit them with it and they would fly off. Kept hitting them until the tree was empty. Next night about half as many birds. It took about 4 or 5 days and we had no more grackles. And they did not come back. 6 mpnths later still no grackles.
