Travel ban to which country??

Travel ban...my ass. (me ras)

Just hang around in area code 603 until summer. Same chance.

Live your life and do your best. There probably ain't no hiding from this one.

If you got mosquitoes where you live you're in the affected area

Me...I'm going home to JA in two weeks

Ya Capt...I was kinda being ever so slightly sarcastic (not meant to be rude to you, Livininthe603)...just not sure what a ban could possibly do...

[madcam94]

You don't think there will be a travel ban... I hate being (so) close (mostly) to my reach and having all of this going down

We are scheduled to arrive June 22, height of summer time. I don't think they would put a travel ban out there. I'm not worried about traveling. I'm not planning on being pregnant in the next two years or ever the the kids won't be getting pregnant in the next 2 years so.... I understand the Zika virus to affect those pregnant, their unborn babies and people planning on getting pregnant within 2 years of infection. Perhaps we will be bringing carryon after all to carry all the repellents!

UGHH! I guess we'll have to keep a closer eye on this! More reading to do for me. That and bathe morning noon an night in repellent.

Now confirmed in pregnant woman in Spain after travel to Columbia. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35490524

The experts were also very concerned with swine flu, bird flu, Y2K etc........

If you listen to all the warnings the experts give you'll live your life in a hermetically sealed bubble..

At 73 years old and 40 years at sea I tend to ignore chicken little

No need for all that..!!..

lol
lol

lemme share some of ''..my-thoughts..'' on this thing

if staying at a good-resort/property, the owner/operators are probably doing whatever they need to do to manage these critters

oh
oh
oh:::::::::::::>>>>>> the UP-side 'bout this particular mosquito:::::>>>> it DOES NOT travel far from it's *home* ..... dunno the exact distances,,,, for example, other mosquitos might fly from negril to mobay, but this Zika-mosquito will stay within a couple city-blocks of where it hatches


continue-ing....

moving about during the day
I wouldn't worry too much

but
as soon as that sun starts to creep toward the horizon
i would be splashing on repellent
AND
covering up
EVERY bit of exposed skin

if i was out and about
at night
and felt ONE 'squito nibble,
i'd RUN away
...leave that location
and
go to another bar, venue, where-ever
