The economic cost of Malaria and the other major mosquito borne diseases is also huge, but governments don't choose to push this. It has always seemed odd to me given how popular a move it would be in affected regions.
- skc 7y agoWe don't know if it would be a popular move in affected regions. Take GM crops for example. There is an awful lot of suspicion around the motives of the organisations/corps pushing this stuff. Not all of it unwarranted.
- stubish 7y agoI think we know. Knowing your kids are most likely to suffer Dengue Fever 2-3 times before they finish high school, just like you have suffered, means you have a vastly different outlook than those in non-affected regions. These are painful, debilitating diseases that affect every family in certain regions.
