In my experience the disease has done nothing to diminish the presence of
these pests in my neighborhood.
FYI, I did have a dead crow in the back yard early in the epidemic. The
state wanted these deaths called in to check for disease but the wild life
agent was lazy and said he was busy and then a day later said he would only
pick up if crow was refrigerated - it was July. At any rate he said you
cannot catch virus from dead bird.
