		egeozcan on March 11, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Covid-19 is now officially a pandemic, WHO says I'd say not even all kinds of mosquitoes. I remember reading about a debate about how total lack of mosquitoes would disrupt many natural food chains. I don't know what I'm talking about but I hope we have someone reading this who does.

All mosquitoes could be bad. We just need to eradicate the mosquitoes that feed off humans. Last I heard, they don't fill any particular important ecological niche which can't be filled by the other mosquitoes.
