True.
The virus has the potential of affecting everyone in every economic strata. With no cure, it is a miserable illness for the average healthy person, and potentially deadly for everyone else. Hopefully Venezuela is looking into an aggressive mosquito eradication program and soon.
Massive amounts of DDT. Outlawing it in the first place was insanity.
“Hopefully Venezuela is looking into an aggressive mosquito eradication program and soon.”
Communist countries spend paltry sums on maintaining infrastructure and very little money on disease prevention. They look to the Free World to provide health care. And don’t be hoodwinked by the propaganda from Cuba, they are exactly the same. If you’re a Free World person and you need health care in Cuba, guess what....it’s not free.
Mosquitoes are a scourge. Here in Texas, we worry about getting West Nile. Now we have to worry about Chikingunya? Ugh.
I went to South Dakota several years ago to see Mt. Rushmore. We watched the fireworks on July 4th at Rushmore, which was awesome! Anyway ... back to mosquitoes. The mosquitoes in Texas are so small and fast. It’s difficult to catch or smack ‘em. When I was in SD, I noticed that the mosquitoes are big and slow. It almost seems like they’re in a drunken stupor. You can snatch ‘em right out of the air! True story.
