I was watching a piece on the news yesterday about the outbreak in Colombia, and a local health worker was describing how they're dealing with what she called an unusually heavy mosquito infestation. I got the impression that they normally see a lot of mosquitoes, so I can't imagine how bad it must be for the locals to be feeling it

Why are they debating whether this quailifies as a PHEIC? It's clearly a huge problem that's not only here to stay, but spreading fast.

At this rate, 4 million cases by the end of the year might be a conservative estimate.

Yep. 2,100 pregnant women all bitten by infected mosquitoes. Not sure I'm buying that one.
