    As we've seen worldwide, I'm not sure how well turning a public health problem into a political issue will work out. No matter your political slant, politicians just aren't the solution to public health issues, as much as they're needed to administer the legal solutions.

    As well as the fact that bedbugs are spreading more and faster due to climate change since they thrive in warmer environments. This problem has been growing and will continue to grow. I worry about when it reaches my own city.

    Solutions for such a wide outbreak are scarce, but viable solutions I think would come from the scientific community about effective treatments and long-term changes to keep them at bay. However, as we've seen with COVID, there will be a number who will resist efforts to control the pests as some form of social control, infringing on their right to be scruffy bastards, I suppose.

    I do wish Paris the best in finding a long-term viable solution to this, it's a terribly difficult problem to be facing. Especially with intent to host an Olympic games.

      Public health cannot help but be a political matter, I don't see how it could be otherwise.

      How is it even possible for a public health problem to not be a political issue?
