CUBA has been overwhelmed by a disease known as “the virus” – leaving hospitals on the verge of collapse as the Communist regime faces accusations of a cover-up.
High fevers, red spots, peeling skin, swollen joints, vomiting and diarrhoea are among symptoms crippling the island’s population – but Cubans have no idea what they are suffering from.
his week the Canadian government announced health screenings and quarantine of up to seven days for those coming back from the country.
And in December, Spain told its citizens to stay away from Cuba due to a “serious epidemic”.
Known just as “the virus” to many, reports suggest one third of the Cuba’s population has been infected – and the British Medical Journal described the “surge” as the country’s most serious crisis in recent decades.

Has China been playing with their bats again..nah I doubt it, China is in bed with Cuba
Remember when American leftists (lardass Michael Moore comes to mind) told us constantly how much better Cuban health-care was?
This “mystery illness” is probably no mystery - it’s probably something like typhus, smallpox, cholera, or something else easily attributable to a thieving marxist government and collapsing infrastructure.
Scarlet Fever?

Cuba is battling a “surge” of several infectious diseases, the country’s most serious crisis in recent decades, according to an article published earlier this week.
Infections such as chikungunya, dengue, and Oropouche are overwhelming the country’s hospitals and mortuaries, wrote journalist Luke Taylor in a piece published by the peer-reviewed medical journal BMJ.
Officials recently reported more than 38,000 suspected cases of the diseases, according to research published Wednesday.
These diseases are mainly spread by different insects, with common symptoms including fever and joint pain, Taylor wrote.
Cuba’s Deputy Minister of Public Health Carilda Peña García confirmed that 12 people have died from dengue and 21 people from chikungunya this year, BMJ reported. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/cuba-hit-by-surge-of-multiple-infectious-diseases-medical-journal-article-warns/
Did our SoS’s plane fly overhead?
Impossible! Cuba has the very best healthcare in the entire world.
Propaganda to hopefully keep our troops from going in?
God moves in mysterious ways.
You posit a very plausible theory.

Unfortunately it is real.
But not just one disease, so it looks chaotic. It is the result of a collapsing government.
“The disease has been called a type of “combined arbovirus” – where people are infected with multiple viruses at the same time and it becomes difficult to diagnosis.”
This makes me wonder if the Cuban population is suffering from near starvation/poor nutrition to the point that their immune systems have become ineffective.
“chikungunya, dengue, and Oropouche”
sounds like delicate tasty cuts on a Charcuterie Board
