Heard about the mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus from my Dad last night. Mauritius has reportedly confirmed 8000 people affected by this virus. 2 people died recently, but the government has not acknowledged that the deaths were linked to the virus.
Reunion Island has it way worst than Mauritius -- 17% of its population is already affected by Chikungunya, so this is a pretty scary situation for the region. Oh, and there is no known cure or vaccine. <sigh>
Quoted: "Chikungunya" fever, for which there is no known cure or vaccine, had affected some 130,000 people on the island off the southeast coast of Africa. Bertrand said that was 20,000 more than a week ago.

My latest blog post - yummy restaurants around Seattle serving Thanksgiving dinner. There are even a couple Indian ones that do tandoori turkey :)
2 FaversViewed: 4 TimesQuoted: Expensive plane tickets and maddening airport lines got you staying in Seattle this Thanksgiving? Are you relatively new in town and worried you're trading in that traditional New England Thanksgiving dinner with family for Tofurky and watching the Peanuts Thanksgiving special alone?
