Got Dengue Fever

Got Dengue Fever

Sorry Havanaban…the dengue fever story has gotten out. The following is a collection of stories about just that plus some demonstrating the regime’s shyness regarding letting the world know about their poverty induced epidemics. There is even a story with Fidel claiming final victory over dengue. This is interesting because now the Havanaban say they are going to hunt down the mosquitoes one by one. Interesting concept…

“Be wary, wary qwiet. I huntin’ wabbit…ahhhh - I mean wittle, wittle bwack muah-skwittoes. Heh, heh, heh, hed. – Wahul Elmer Fudd Cwastoowoe, fearwiss hunter and sociowist weeder

Make sure these links get looked at by as many travelers as possible. We need to stick a dagger in the heart of this upcoming tourist season. Their economy is always on the edge. Help me give it a shove mates!

I am not certain where these stories might take us and our cause but you guys were the ones who broke the news and got these “mainstream media” outlets to take a closer look. My hat is off to you for your effort. Tomorrow I begin my campaign against the medical tourist's dollars.
