A “vibrant” Queens mom of four is the latest fatality to be reported at a Dominican Republic resort — where she died within hours of coming down with a mystery stomach illness.

"It says “latest fatality” but she visited there last year?"

“” “” People just don’t understand the level of cleanliness and medical care we have in the USA. Clean water for one. “” “”

Well, that’s some wishful thinking of course but you make perfect point in a sense that many places has it much worse.
