For the past several weeks, many around the world and here in the U.S. saw a mysterious virus spreading in the city of Foshan in Southern China’s Guangdong Province and couldn’t help but think, here we go again.

Are we going to be next? Should I be afraid? Are virus-laden Aedes mosquitos heading across the seas to my neighborhood?

The World Health Organization echoed this sentiment in their statements as they documented increasing spread around the world and over 8,000 cases in Southern China. The WHO warned of an epidemic threat.

But then the cases in Foshan began to drop, and this week, the city of Foshan ended its Level III Emergency response.

And so, the answer to the pandemic question is, once again, a resounding no. You will not be swarmed by another virus so soon after COVID. Though Chikungunya can sometimes make you quite sick, keep in mind that it isn’t a new virus — it has been around since at least the 1950s........
