Health authorities in Jamaica over the weekend issued warnings about a dengue fever outbreak with more than 500 suspected or confirmed cases so far.
"The dominant strain is Dengue Type 2, which last predominated in 2010," the Jamaica Ministry of Health and Wellness said in a statement Saturday via the government-backed Jamaica Information Service, which added that there are "no dengue-related deaths classified at this time." However, it stressed that six deaths are under investigation.
As of Sept. 22, there were 565 confirmed, suspected, and presumed cases of dengue, a virus that is spread via certain species of mosquitoes. Some 78 cases have been confirmed so far in Kingston, the capital of the country, as well as St. Thomas and St. Catherine, according to the bulletin.

oops. not all confirmed
You can vacation in Chicongo or Baltimore for the same thrills.
Marked safe from disease at any expensive vacation spot, tour or cruise.
There, it's called lead acceleration fever.
My son and daughter in law arrived in Jamaica last night. 🙏🙏🙏
I believe dengue fever is also known as “breakbone fever”
Have never had any desire to visit there.
i would not go to Jamaica for free. Not to pick up a million bucks.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.
Thanks for posting. Health/life BUMP!

You obviously have never been to Jamaica. Most visitors stay at all-inclusive resorts and never venture past the trinket shops outside the gate.
Fears are exaggerated as usual. My daughter and her BF were in South Africa when some new variety of covid surfaced there. Worst thing was all flights from SA were cancelled and they were stock there for a few days before finding a flight out at triple normal price.

(My Opinion) : The sudden influx of tropical weather systems may have contributed to the Dengue development and spread.
There are 565 confirmed cases reported.
Travelers and immigrants should especially take note.
