Chagas is a clear reminder that "diseases don’t have geographic borders anymore"... "diseases happening elsewhere in the world can happen in our backyard too."

Well, Martin, I'm sorry, but diseases have no geo borders because we have no geo borders. You can get anything in the world within 24 hours. Think the 1918-19 flu was bad? You ain't seen nothin yet baby. We might as well be living in the slums of Calcutta for all the good that 3000 miles of ocean will do us. And the politicos? Thanks for not getting me started.
