There was a BBC report/interview that worded it well. Paraphrase is as follows:

  • Their government routinely fucks them and lies to them. They have no reason whatsoever to trust it. Yes, they are superstitious and resistant to helpful western sciency shit, but they are skeptical of that shit for good reasons. They think the govt/foreigners are harvesting blood or organs to do weird shit which they view with normal suspicion and as a violation of their physical-spiritual sovereignty.

Getting married in Cancun in a month. One of my groomsmen is an Infectious Disease pharmacist at a major hospital in Dallas; one bridesmaid's husband is a post-doc flavovirus researcher at Vanderbilt University specializing in H5N1, Chikungunya, and the Coronavirus.

Is there anything you, as a specialist in Zika, feel I should be aware of besides general protective measures such as deet, quinine, longer clothing, and avoiding places where standing water is likely to occur?

What can I do if I bought a product and tried to return it only to be told that the product and packaging serial numbers don't match??
