18 Jan 2008Yellow Fever might sound like a disease from 100 years ago, but it is alive and well and causing panic and death in Brazil. At least seven people have died from Yellow Fever this year, and the government is investigating additional cases. Meanwhile, Brazilians in the most affected areas are lining up get vaccinated. The most recent victims say they weren’t vaccinated against the acute viral disease.
The video above, though only available in Portuguese, will give you an idea of the mood in Brazil will this current outbreak, including which geographical areas are most at risk. A recurring theme in the video is “there’s no reason to panic”, but I’m sure people in those regions aren’t very consoled by that message.
