frajaq posted:I love Zika Virus, it's an excellent excuse for the Olympics to not happen here, gently caress the olympics Even though it brings bad things we already spent a billion bucks on infrastructure. If we waste that the loving opposition will grab on it like a rabid dog. Frig off. Also the Zika itself is not that dangerous if you aren't pregnant, the symptoms are not even that bad when compared to Dengue and Yellow Fever, which I got and it sucked rear end!

Fanatic posted:In September I'm going to a wedding in Forte Leza (north-eastern Brazil) for a week. Prior to that I'm travelling around Peru, Argentina and Rio for 18 days, so hearing now that Zika could stay in your system for up to 10 weeks is a bit disturbing... It's spelled Fortaleza, dumbass. Also just keep to Meireles and Aldeota area since there's like no loving skeeters ever around here if you are that scared.

Mozi posted:It's scary because it's new and looks like it can cause birth defects, but there are many other pre-existing mosquito-borne illnesses that have a much larger impact (dengue, malaria, etc etc.) Getting rid of mosquitos entirely would be a pretty good goal IMO, especially as species that thrive in cities begin to become more widespread. We already have spent a century trying to get rid of the Aedes but they are way too loving resilient to do so. From genetic engineering to spraying everything and trying to get rid of hatching places, nothing works. Fanatic posted:But Forte Leza sounds cooler. Who knows, maybe it translates to a fort protected by lasers in Brazilian Spanish. This is terrorism.
