    It’s an outbreak of dengue fever with no deaths reported.

      Ugh, dengue fever is awful. The timeline of symptoms is neat unless you’re going through them.

    Broken bones? How is that a symptom?!?

      I suspect it’s a translation issue. @noisefree linked in another, less sensational article that says this is dengue fever. And the old name for dengue fever was “break-bone fever”, because of the massive amount of bone and joint pain it caused.

      I think it’s probably “bone pain” scrambled in translation, since it’s a dengue fever outbreak.

      I hope it’s just a catch all data kind of thing. Like anything anyone has wrong with them gets lumped in to be filtered later. Idk. I’m guessing here.

      With the camera pointing at the sky, an large arrow from the game plague inc is shown on the ground. It is captioned "yo what the fuck"

    Symptoms such as high temperatures, broken bones, vomiting, dizziness, and headaches have left the community grappling with uncertainty and fear.

    I think I’d be too. High fevers are one thing, but I don’t want my bones broken on top of that.
