Very Disturbing

Well I -could- have waited for the hurricane.

I am not "condoning" Zika. I have children and grandchildren here, not in Moose Jaw NWT or New Jersey. But the era of almost instant pandemics is upon us all. Zika isn't Thalidomide. It wasn't invented and sold. The human/swine/duck/chicken billion strong Frankenvirus laboratory is going 24/7 inside the Great Wall.

My son in law and I presented 30-minutes worth of "Do Something!" tips at the last reunion de ejido. More than a few eyes were opened when I explained how many thousands of zancudos can breed in a little used sink drain. A discarded auto tire, chela de cerveza or puddle of standing water. Mosquitoes breed, hatch and live in an area under an acre in size unless a strong wind carries them.

SSA in their wisdom put severe restrictions on the percentage of DEET allowed in approved products. The 4-nietas are protected by full screens on the house, and DEET and Pennyroyal Oil when at la enramada.

Fighting ZIKA with hand-wringing is so pathetic it's sad. Action speaks louder than words. How does a commercial airliner prevent ZIKA from entering along with passengers? I've not seen a commercial airliner door close before a half hour elapses. The airplane departs and several hours later opens it's doors in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York.

So what's it going to be? Zika or Permethrin? Offer a third choice. not quibbling or complaints...
