Governor Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in three California counties hit hard by the mosquito-borne West Nile virus.

Schwarzenegger says the emergency declaration applies to Kern, Colusa and San Joaquin counties, and will provide up to $1.35 million to help combat the spread of the virus.

The disease has killed four people this year and appears to be spreading at a rapid clip.

West Nile is transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, and so far this year has infected three times more people than it did in the same period in 2006.

The disease's epicenter thus far is Kern County, which has logged two-thirds of the state's 56 West Nile cases this year.

im so sick of this shit, the only people who die from west nile are old people and little kids with weak immune systems, 4 deaths is not a state of emergency, thats four people in a state of like 33 million, 110+ are killed in oakland every year, shouldnt that be a state of emergency of some sort? Most of this is just Ahnold making himself look busy and like he cares, im not buyin it, i wont be buying any deet
