AJAM (channel 347 for Direct TV) has a program Techknow which will repeat Wed. 1PM & 11:30PM and Thurs. 10AM called Genetically Modified Mosquitoes. It is about the possibility of wiping out Dengue, Malaria, Zika viruses. Of course the no GMO people will object but I for one do not ingest mosquitoes so strongly support this. CDC states there are 50-100 million new cases of Dengue each year according to this program. The program mentions our island and the current outbreak.
I am avoiding areas like 12th, 17th Maku'u, thanks to Puna web info but it is a disservice that our health department does not indicate more specifically where the new cases are cropping up. I don't need names or addresses but general location would be appropriate. The map red and yellow dots are not updated along with new cases.
