Is This The Red Herring Event We've All Been Waiting For? (Eastern equine encephalitis, EEE and mosquitos)

[masterswimmer]

I was just talking to someone on another site. He mentioned to me about some EEE virus. For the record, we cut the cord back in January. So no cable TV here. We do not watch any TV news.

Is this E³ virus the red herring event before the November election?

Not sure if this was posted somewhere else. If so please consolidate, delete, or at least redirect me to that thread.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Meh. I don't think it matters. We can't stop what's coming.

 

[Bigfoot]

This is the first I've heard of the EEE virus

 

[Bigfoot]

"Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is an extremely rare but serious and often fatal infection that causes encephalitis or inflammation of the brain. It is spread by the bite of a mosquito infected with EEE virus"

Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)

Stay tuned, more DOOM at eleven...

Ditto. Was 'news' to me too.

That could be because neither one of us watches the TV news.

If you know what I mean. lol

I believe they have enacted curfews in several MA towns because of this bullshit. I am not really sure what a curfew does, do mosquitos only bite after 6pm? This is in the worchester area, do the mosquitos not know to travel across state lines to CT/RI?
I do not believe this is the "red herring event", they are anticipating lifting curfews after the first frost.

It's the new panic, but doesn't seem to be getting traction.

It's supposedly killed 2 horses here in Orange county this summer.

 

[Bigfoot]

I live in the swamp and there are a Kazillion mosquitoes here. They're blood sucking machines and the size of birds.

I told my wife about EEE and she immediately called dibs on my guns and ammo.

It always effects a few horses in the CNY area every year. I say bring back the good old days of mosquito control when county trucks would cruise through neighborhoods spraying pesticides to kill the little fuckers off. As kids we would ignore the “stay in your house’s “ warning and ride our bikes behind the trucks . We Never heard of any mosquito born illnesses back then .
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger !

 

[JaguarJaguarGolf]

I think there was a death from EEE in Orange County two or three weeks ago.

 

[fresch]

Horse flu!! They spray the swamps every year for EEE. No big deal.
West Nile spread by crows; you know a now migratory protected bird; that we used to shoot on sight.

 

[Depick]

I can’t speak for anyone else but I am done with social distancing, mandates, curfews and quarantines. If I die so be it.

My sarcasm meter may not be working correctly, I'm not sure. Anyway.

I have lived in the Alabama Swamps for 34 years. Right next to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. It doesn't get much swampier than here and I have never heard of that, I just did some quick research and the only mention of that being done here in NY that I found anyway is in Oswego County... I'm just saying.

It seems to be a thing that some other states are doing on a larger scale though.

Well, I just got my EEE vax, my Covid vax AND my Flu vax. At least I'm SAFE from everything now!!! Haha you f'ers!!!!

 

[Shadow rider]

Red Herring?... more like a pickled herring!
Triple E has been a threat for central NY (especially the Cicero Swamp area) for as far back as I can remember. They regularly would do arial spraying in the swamps. I'm not sure if they still do.

Still do. This year.

We live around swamps and open water ponds. Never an issue with mosquitos. We have an abundance of dragon flies and frogs that eat the larvea. Everyone that comes here thinks that the mosquitos will eat them alive and they find out they are not an issue. Now the deer flies on the other hand. Those cock suckers piss me off.

.....

There have been around 115 cases of the virus in Massachusetts since 1938.

Sounds serious....

We all know the "Election Interference Virus" must happen. The "Healthcare" terrorists are itcing for another lockdown.

They still spray the Cicero swamp and up in Toad Harbor as well yearly.

Yup. Week or 2 ago I heard on the local snews they were about to spray Cicero and Toad. Seems it would be better to spray earlier in the summer to prevent the late summer early fall invasion. Every year they wait for a horse or 2 to die then make a big deal out of it and decide to spray. Makes no sense to me but I'm just a dumb hick, so....

This is the first I've heard of the EEE virus

We hear about EEE every year about this time in CNY. It's a low level concern, not the black plague.

 

[Bigfoot]

I was born and raised in the rural swamps of South Carolina, I mean deep and dangerous serious swamps, not like the swamp that I live in now here in WNY.

Although we do have some big snapping turtles here and a good-sized population of coyotes and I should probably mention the MAGA rednecks, dogs, and backhoes too. But in comparison, they are a big nothing burger to the South Carolina swamps. The biggest problem in the northeast swamps IMHO is the fucking frogs, toads, and crickets. This time of year they are noisy as fuck. Ask me how I know, lol.

Where I lived in South Carolina the swamps were infested with mosquitoes (malaria) and all the other biting insects known to man kind by the Kazillions. Plus there were poisonous snakes, and on top of that, we lived within the alligator's habitat. When we were kids me and my brothers used to go into the swamp at night with lights looking for the reflection of their eyes. That's when you knew how many were actually there. The mosquitos were nothing more than a nuisance.

The thing is, I can remember nobody there giving a fuck. We just lived our lives like normal. Knowing the risks and living with those risks was just a way of life, a normal life. Just like driving your vehicle down a public road on a daily basis. Right?

The nanny state bullshit here in the North East is ah fuck I'm done. I think most of you know what I'm getting at. A lot of different things can kill people, but it's going to most likely be one of the usual suspects. Not EEE, not COVID-19, not an alligator. It's going to be either a MVA or a heart attack, maybe a severe stroke, Probably cancer. But not EEE, COVID-19, or mosquitoes.


Until next time. Mask Denier Pure Blood signing off.

Never had this problem until they banned DDT .
