Yup, those mosquito-bourne diseases are terrible. Although zika was not yet one that they were dealing with there.
I think that you will find that the US is going to be where it is really bad once it gets there because areas like Texas are so poorly equipped to deal with wide spread mosquito issues like Central America is.
You mean like the gov't just coming to your house and pumping in toxic smoke?
I have a bird, that would have killed her!
They have birds there too, but you would move the bird when they do it.
But yes, Texas doesn't have the legal means of doing what needs to be done in a mosquito epidemic.

As in texas has as less equipment than in central america?
Equipment, access, safety or ability. Even if they had equipment, access and ability, it would be unsafe to approach homes in Texas as a health worker as Texas is very pro "shoot people on your property". The things that you need to do to keep everyone safe if that really happens, Texas just isn't legally or socially prepared to handle.
