[KWW]

a time i had dengue about 10+ years ago

Same time period I catch it, was told there was nothing they can do for you in hospital unless it progresses to the severe hemorrhagic form.

Chikungunya was far worse than dengue, those muscle aches lasted for a month+ lol

[KWW]

i had it as a teenager- is it true that if u had it already it would be worse the 2nd time?

There are 4 variants of dengue, and you are immune to a specific variant if you have had it before. Not sure how many variants are present in TT though.

most people going to ride it out or just drink pawpaw leaf rather than go suffer in hospital or spend $$ behind private testing in this timing

[redmanjp]

[paid_influencer]

[sMASH]

Deyalsingh say, once two or more cases are close enough , they will fog the area.
He said a distance but I csnt recall accurately ..


So, all allyuh suppsed to be getting fogged..

[pugboy]

it used to be any case results in surrounding premises being fogged

[assassin]

I cannot remember when last I saw fogging being done in my area

It used to be a periodic thing, in the absence of dengue outbreaks

[redmanjp]

3rd death

[pugboy]

fogging is not a long term solution
it only kills whatever mosquitoes present

but why is it not being done if we have a serious outbreak?

Terence say it does destroy the environment

Regional corps saying lack of resources... I spoke to a guy from insect vector... Man said they only spraying where have confirmed cases because $ low to get malathion...

On the other hand, it's been a while since I saw people drinking that young paw paw leaf... That sheit be nasty

[pugboy]

so do nothing
okaaaayy

[sMASH]

Regular exercise, fresh breeze and sunlight are good to boost the immune system to fight off viruses , but they kept people indoors for a virus with a trumped up excuse.


They say spraying more harmful , but lacking resources ...


Spin for spinning sake

Not saying to do nothing, but your best efforts are weakened if your neighbors stink yard matches their personality. I have one does just put things in their yard as an alternative to putting it in the garbage. The plastic receptacles eventually dry rot and fall apart, but there's other things that can house insects and vermin. They even had a foot tall anthill growing in the backyard and left it there. They does ignore me since i asked them to move a garbage bag they left in their yard that burst and was encouraging big cockroach.

I dunno if things were different when whoever ministry reps used to pass around, put crystals in suspect bodies of water and sign your house card, but I last saw one of those in the mid 2000s when I worked in POS environs.

ent you could call corporation for those kind of situations?

[pugboy]

pos corp workers are jokers
they don’t examine anything
all they do is stand by road and ask if you have rats or mosquitos then say somebody will come and check back

[Chimera]

i not saying to do this....but it will work with minimum headache

make a rubber/self inking stamp for a $200

put whatever corporation it is for your area on the stamp

print a letter and mail it to your neighbour, stamp the envelope and the letter

with progressive warnings about their yard threatening fines if they dont clean up

I live on the same road as the regional corporation for my area and they either don't take you on or bother to come when you report an issue (could be any thing from broken pavement to clogged drains).

Good luck getting them to come inspect your neighbour yard.

Here's the thing: I did. That was long before COVID and I took the time off from work for them to come and they never did.

I have a theory why the neighbor ignoring me is because the corporation eventually showed up when the neighbour was home and I was not. So like I said, your best efforts is weakened by your nasty neighbours.

I called cooperation on a neighbor with an apartment block whose tenants had the bin overflowing with bottles and loose garbage for years. They did call me many months after but by then I got someone to call the landlord pretending to be from the cooperation and threatening to shut down the apartments if he doesn't clean said bin which he promptly did.
