Maybe it's me... I still cannot believe that the people staying there are not only slowing the process of clean-up and potential disease bearers now or in the future... they also put the rescuers at risk.

Lets see if we learned anything about liberal environmental policies from the NOLA catastrophe

Hell, with all the oil in the water, there aren't going to be any mosquitos.

I don't blame the people staying.
Incubation of larvae takes about two weeks. There's still time to spray the entire region if they're determined to do it. Certainly, the NOLA area could be sprayed.

George Bush is responsible for the deaths of billions of Insect-Americans. He should be impeached.

All my life I was used to mosquitoes coming out to feast on me around sunset. Several years ago, due to West Nile, my city has been throwing tablets in the sewers. Now we can stay out all evening and never get bit. I have had two bites in the last three years. I'm still waiting for my annual bite this year. It is amazing. Those catch basins are a fantastic breeding ground. But not any more. They sprayed a few years ago, but not lately.
When they eventually see the sewers again, they need to do the same in NO.
