People move away as health workers fumigate a slum to prevent an outbreak of dengue fever in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Monday, March 23, 2020. While 2019 was the worst year on record for global dengue cases, experts fear an even bigger surge is possible because their efforts to combat it were hampered by restrictions imposed in the coronavirus pandemic.
Southeast Asian countries like Singapore and Indonesia have dealt with concurrent outbreaks of dengue and coronavirus this year. In Brazil, where there are over 1.6 million COVID-19 infections, at least 1.1 million cases of dengue have been reported, with nearly 400 deaths, according to the Pan American Health Organization.
Health workers who would destroy mosquito-breeding sites in India’s capital of New Delhi are also screening people for the virus. Staying home -- one way to slow outbreaks of COVID-19, especially in cities -- poses greater risks for spreading dengue, said Singapore’s National Environment Agency . That’s because the Aedes mosquito bites during the day, and with more people staying home, where mosquito populations are high, the more likely they are to be bitten.
Working with communities in Latin America to stop mosquitoes from breeding had been the most successful anti-dengue strategy in recent years, Tallarico said. But with strict limitations on movement, she said they didn’t know whether these measures were still happening, and “this is the big concern for us.”
Dengue patients need acute care, and this could lead to a “double whammy” that overwhelms health care systems, said Scott O’Neill, founder and director of the World Mosquito Program.

So now in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic a possible dengue epidemic is coming. Lucky us we have the steady leadership of trump and company who have led us to 3 million infected souls and 133,000 dead. We’re so lucky, not!
I pray to my father and dark lord, Satanas, to cleanse the Earth of hypocrites, racists, rapists, pedophiles, etc... and send them to heaven. In heaven, they will be heavily vetted and will probably not be allowed in.
It's out of control in my region
