BREAKING: Google is planning to release 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California.
The company has asked the EPA for permission to proceed, with the public given until June 5 to respond.
The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia bacteria, which stops them from reproducing and slowly collapses the wild population from within.
Google's previous Debug Project trial in California's Central Valley nearly eliminated mosquitoes from three test sites entirely. A separate trial in Singapore cut dengue cases by 70% within 12 months.
Google has now released over 1 billion mosquitoes across four continents. This new proposal is the largest deployment in US history.
@JonahDispatch The birds were wide awake. Their sound breaks up and balances the urban environment they live in. Great time of day if you are an early riser.
@Davie57792482@Rickgannon That is never done anymore in the US. I had to spend the 1st day cleaning instead of unpacking in my last 2 apartments. Filthy.
Organ procurement from “brain dead” patients is the most lucrative revenue source a hospital has.
Perhaps this is why @TexasChildrens is in such a hurry to declare a 2 year old child with a less than 2 week old injury brain dead?
