Lock downs happening again in MA

Not me. Just build more habitats for bats. They eat a LOT of mosquitoes every night. In most cases, the solution can be found in nature. The quick, 'easy' fix is rarely the best fix.

How about you have your opinion nad let others have their own opinion?  You don't have to agree with others opinions, just as they don't have to agree with yours!

attackrat is left leaning but not crazy most them, especially here. 
At least from the posts I have seen over the years. 

Most people infected with eastern equine encephalitis virus do not develop symptoms. For those who develop symptoms, the time from an infected mosquito bite to onset of illness (incubation period) ranges from 4 to 10 days.

Eastern equine encephalitis virus infection can result in febrile illness (fever) or neurologic disease. The type of illness will depend on the age of the person and other factors.

Febrile illness is characterized by fever, chills, body aches, and joint pain. The illness lasts 1 to 2 weeks, and most people recover completely when there is no central nervous system involvement.

Neurologic disease can include meningitis (inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord) or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Signs and symptoms of neurologic disease include fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, behavioral changes, drowsiness, and coma. In infants, neurologic disease often occurs soon after onset; in older children and adults, encephalitis might occur after several days of systemic illness.

Approximately a third of all people with eastern equine encephalitis die. Death usually occurs 2 to 10 days after onset of symptoms but can occur much later.
Many people who recover are left with long-term physical or mental problems. These can range from mild to severe intellectual disability, personality disorders, seizures, paralysis, and cranial nerve dysfunction.
People with severe disease and ongoing disabilities often require long-term care and die within a few years.

You give me your line where full on authoritarian is.

I'll give you mine on this specific topic...  If these towns start arresting people for being outside after dusk.  That is where I draw the line.  That is where I will join you to say they are overstepping their authority.

I don't buy into the gray area of 'partial' versus 'full on' authoritarianism on this topic.

The stupidity here is off the charts.  You don't just go randomly spraying chemicals all over.  You spray where the highest infestations are likely and the spraying is targeted.  It's not like helicopters are flying over and dropping anti-mosquito chemicals all over the place.
