What are some of the ways that we can protect ourselves?

- Insect repellent
- Mosquito coils
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants
- Sleep in air-conditioned rooms
- Grow anti-mosquito plants like rosemary, lavender, marigold etc.

Any other ideas?

Another low cost (cheap!) and effective way is to install insect sreen / window mesh on windows that you must feel open. in this way, your house can still be ventilated with air flowing in/out freeing and no need to apply mosquito repellent when at home.

No, the world is already tired of viruses.
