I remember those days, the mosquitoes weren’t as bad back then as they are now.

Will masks help prevent mosquito bites?
—
oh yes skeeters hate masks, they are so terrifying to the poor little buggers that they have been known to fall over dead at the sight of one.
Oh, look. The Daily Mail is spreading pandemaganda again. Shocking.
Is the main symptom a lack of symptoms?

Gates, mosquitos = rope and a high limb.
I remember those days, the mosquitoes weren’t as bad back then as they are now.
No, but if we stand at least 6 feet apart the mosquitos will be too exhausted to bite more than 1 of us.
The people worrying about this are the greater threat.
No. F No.
Yes indeed if it creeped crawled obuzzed around your head DDT could kill it😵
We have skeeters with black and white legs here in Florida...
Exactly, and it's an equal opportunity irritant that likes to inflame every joint in your body.
I woke up on Monday with no pain in my feet. Two hours later I put my regular shoes on to head out of the house, and suddenly I've got pain in two different areas of both feet. It's not the shoes. I've worn them for months with no discomfort. There is no swelling, or bruising. I didn't do anything which required activity the day or evening before. It isn't Plantars Facitiitis. I had that years ago and this is nothing like it. It doesn't hurt when I'm sitting. It only hurts when I stand and walk. Gave it a few days to go away, so will call the orthopedic doctor tomorrow to set up an appointment. I'm almost 78. Sucks to get old.
My oldest son was initially diagnosed with that many years ago, but his new rheumatologist thinks it's actually psoriatic arthritis. He has been on two Hydroxychloroquine pills a day for many years, and has to give himself an injection of Humira every two weeks. He's been very fortunate that the meds keep his symptoms away. He's 58.
Quick, shut down all travel to and from China.
I groan and complain a lot at home. Do a lot of swearing to myself when I'm out in the grocery store. People probably think I'm a crazy old lady talking to myself. I don't worry about it. We've earned the right to moan and groan all we want.
Keep 6 feet away from mosquitos and you should be ok!

Hope there is a special place in Hell for her, along with Timothy Leary, Benjamin Spock, and Madalyn Murray O’Hair. Ralph Nader is still kicking but will be joining them soon.
Easy to fix, just require all mosquitoes to wear little tiny masks
“My oldest son was initially diagnosed with that many years ago, but his new rheumatologist thinks it’s actually psoriatic arthritis. “
That’s what I am dealing with. I take Binzelx once a month. Humira, Cosentyx, Embrell and others didn’t work. Taltz worked for a while ten stopped working. For a while I was going to infusion but that stopped with the new meds. The Leflunomide helps.
It hurts just to type this. And the worst part is my current med only lasts three weeks so the last week before the injection I am miserable. And I’m not allowed to take Vicodin because of an accident that happened during Covid (meds interacting wrong) where I almost died. So I smoke weed to lessen the symptoms.
