Ban Leaf Blowers
The newspaper reports concerning the discovery of dead mice infected with the potentially dangerous hantavirus in south Orange County requires in my opinion immediate action by the communities of Orange County to outlaw leaf blowers.
Since this apparently is an airborne disease acquired by inhaling infected dust, banning the leaf blowers should be an important measure to control the spread of this disease to human beings.
