Shazaam. I wonder how this could have happened.
I’m sure the media will announce that they have no idea how it could have possibly gotten to anybody.
Mrs BN & I both have had Dengue - not sure of which of the four types we had.
Contracted it in Belize in 2004. Don’t think we brought it back to the States.
Like heck they do! The immediate disease might be over in a week, but the side effects, or whatever you want to call it, can continue for six months to a year or more. After one month, the skin on my hands and feet peeled off. My hair began falling out about three months after developing dengue. Then, dengue depression set in at about six months and the cloud did not lift for another twelve months. Dengue is a disease from hell and just keeps on giving and giving and giving.
Whoa! Never knew Dengue fever made it to USA before. Is this a first?
“diversity is our strength!”
Had it

I thought that I had left this behind when I left Vietnam!!! I got it there. Nasty nasty little buggers.
Heard this measles alert story on the radio in Virginia yesterday:
“Health department officials in Chicago, Austin, Texas, and Richmond, Virginia have issued new warnings about potential measles exposures at locations including airports. All appear tied to one traveler who visited all three airports.
“The person contracted measles while traveling in Europe from late November to early December and became sick on Dec. 14, the Austin American-Statesman reported. The person developed a rash on Dec. 17, and boarded United Airlines Flight 790 that same day from Austin to Chicago with a connecting flight to Virginia, the paper said.
‘The reports are in addition to earlier December reports of possible exposure of the highly contagious disease at Los Angeles International Airport and Denver International Airport.’

Isn’t multiculturalism, one-worldism and diversity wonderful ?
Oh good, introducing foreign pathogens into American life. Just one more item used in the war against the American people by foreign entities and our very own domestic politicians and their supporters
This is one of the reasons we live in the rural desert southwest.
Walk through the streets of San Francisco and risk catching dung fever carried on the bottom of your shoes.
