And, does the virus affect the mosquito itself?

I spoke with my mother (an experienced nurse), who went to a health care/informational convention on the subject. She tried to alert me to the best ways of preparing for the outbreak, however I would like to hear a second opinion, that is contrary(or not) to that of my mother's bleak view on the topic. I'm just curious what others are doing to prepare, since this subject isn't being covered very well by the media.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I've never had one. I have a cold+cough+sore throat and now, when I swallow, something in my left ear hurts too. I've tried looking this up, but didn't really find anything to address my particular situation. Is this a sign that I'm coming down w/ an ear infection or is it something else?
