Spraying Campus

Yesterday I learned they were spraying campus for an infectious virus spread by mosquito. Things went fairly well, but it was another case where I always feel like I get the information about a day after I would like to have it. So yesterday I had thought they were coming because of a student who had the virus two months ago and got it somewhere else in SE Asia. Then I heard that a neighboring business (a flower place) had a person who had tested for it. Then I heard it was three people. Then I heard that two people on campus tested it for it but were asymptomatic. Then I heard it was three people...

Anyway, the fumigation itself was okay, but most of Wednesday night and yesterday were spent packing things away and then today will be spent wiping everything down again. Linda helped a lot with this, and even came back in the evening to open windows and wipe everything of before we came back with the babies.

I asked the CDC person what chemical they were using yesterday, and she didn't know, but she did arrange to have the information given to us after the fact. It's really not a bad pesticide, so I think probably the benefit outweighs the harm, but all a bit frustrating.
