Chikungunya, which can disable victims for years, is spreading rapidly, including in China and other places that have not seen it before.
Ok. Can we engineer the death of all mosquitos already?
Yes, but we're afraid of the consequences. I'm all in myself.
We can kill just the species that bite humans. There are plenty of others for the birds and bats to eat.
I'm betting $10k mosquitoes will just evolve and survive but some obviously crucial other species will go extinct instead.
My initial thought. But at this point we’re already watching the planet burn.
