Did you guys see the Dengue Fever outbreak in Jeddah and Mecca. They have a bad problem with the Aedes mosquito. I saw mention of the "hardship" fever on the Arabic forums, did a little research, and learned that "Hardship Fever" is the Arabic term for "Dengue Fever".
It's viral - antibiotics don't work - and is spread by skeeters. They are apparantly implementing an aggressive mosquito killing program over there.
They apparantly had this problem last year too.
Mentioning it here so if you see reference to "Hardship Fever" and it being incurable that no one panics.
Have you guys read the stuff at ready.gov?
If there's a nuclear detonation, go inside, turn off the A/C and heat, go underground, an watch TV, radio, or check the internet for information.
Ummmm did they forget the EMP?
