Hey, I've got a good idea...

Let's put the malaria patients in ICUs and pump them with Remdesivir. When their renal systems fail we put them on ventilators and the government pays us half a million dollars when they are dead. This will take care of the problem and also solve our hospital financial crisis.

We kill two birds with one stone.

The best way to address the situation is personal prevention.

Inspect your property to identify and eliminate stagnant water sources (e.g. bird baths, pet water dishes, buckets, plastic wading pools, old tires). Standing water sources may also be treated with BTI (Mosquito Dunks), a widely available larvicide deemed safe for animals.

Inspect screens for tears. Use insect repellent with either DEET or Picaridin. Wear light colored, loose-fitting clothing.

The Anopheles mosquito carries malaria. Anopheles most actively feed at dusk and night. Unfortunately, Florida is host to about 80 species of mosquitos, several of which carry other nasty diseases including Zika and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus.
