“I wonder if the rare mosquito-borne disease vector was via an illegal alien? “
both Eastern Equine Encephalitis and Western Equine Encephalitis have been endemic to this country for at least a half a century ... i knew a child who almost drowned when his horse collapsed from Equine Encephalitis in 1975 and trapped him in a pond when I first moved to Colorado ...
How heartbreaking for this woman’s family and friends! RIP.
Well, blaming an illegal alien makes you racist. And, yes, that makes you a hater, which is a crime, depending on what you hate, but you also seem to harbor a resentment against or at least implicitly seem to emotionally indict the mosquito, which makes you a fascist because Trump. So yeah, you're going to jail. Depending on how you look at it, if you have something on the Clinton's, you can either be happy or upset that your pre trial autopsy will say that you hung or shot yourself, or were mugged and shot but not actually robbed.
In most states, horses need to get a shot for this disease if the horse is sold or moved into a state. One of my horses had it. And was treated for a summer. I never heard of humans getting it.
Uh, buddy -you have it backward. The disease is native to the East Coast of the United States. It's actually spread to Europe by immigration from the US. Hopefully those immigrants are legal.
When my Mother died at 85, it affected me more than I would have realized. She was literally the best person I ever knew. She had no vices and a huge amount of greatness.
Her children adored her, as did her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. She was so kind that at times it was hard to believe. She was brave. In fact Daddy and her were robbed by one of Atlanta’s fine citizens. with a gun pointed at her she refused to give him her money. Daddy had to tell her to before she would. Mother had a strong sense if right and wrong.
At her funeral I had the choir and our cousin who had a beautiful tenor voice to sing her favorite song, “Beautiful Dreamer”. A few months later at a family reunion they sang that song again in honor of Mother and it was not her family which was reuniting only hers by marriage.
I had been retired for 20 years and my good suits had been stolen by, I think my Niece. I was not about to dishonor Mother by showing up in street clothes so I bought a new suit.
I honestly don’t have the words to describe what a wonderful person she was.
We have the know-how to wipe mosquitoes from the Earth right now, critters that kill over 800,000 people a year, yet our scientists are in a dither over whether we should or not wipe ‘em out (because birds and frogs eat them). Put me in the “should” category.
No, it was found in the deep woods for many years but made its way out to more populated areas ever since they stopped spraying DDT to kill mosquitoes.
As a kid growing up, I remember the low flying DC-3’s that were used for mosquito control.
I also remember the large truck mounted fans with sprayers attached the city would use to spray the trees along the street. It was similar to this: https://chinabesttruck.com/2018/04/22/china-pesticide-spraying-vehicle/amp/
But was bigger and mounted on an old military truck.
Take a good Vitamin B and the mosquitoes won’t touch you. I haven’t had a mosquito bite in years.

The vector was probably a horse. EEE is always a threat in swampy southeastern Massachusetts, though this woman was from the western part of the state. My town is 30 miles west of Boston and has swampy areas. We spray vigorously.
Sad. RIP.
One thing I do not miss about SE MA is all of the diseases that occur from bugs, ticks, birds, etc. Here in OH, even when it rains, it doesn't stay as hot and humid as it does in MA. Thus, there's next to know problem with those diseases so common in SE MA and some other areas.
