PETALING JAYA: The dengue situation in the country is at an alarming level with 11 deaths recorded in the first three weeks of the month.
As of Saturday, 3,002 dengue cases were reported all over the country.
According to the Health Ministry’s Disease Control Division (national dengue operations room), Selangor recorded the highest number with 1,370 cases between Jan 1 and 23.
This was followed by Sarawak (645 cases), Kuala Lumpur/Putrajaya (246), Johor (166) and Sabah (106).
The ministry has issued a dengue alert to all states on Nov 26, last year.
Of the 77,818 premises inspected the previous week, Dr Hassan said 1,549 (2%) were found to breed Aedes mosquitoes — an increase of 33% compared to the previous week.
The reason why I posted this is because our beloved Swan has contracted the fever. She is now in the hospital and seems to be recovering. I hope you'll all be praying for her or if you don't really pray then maybe you can send her health vibes or something. :) So people stay away from places full of mosquitoes, and if you happen to live in a place full of mosquitoes (like me) then practise your Nyamuk-do-jitsu and whip out some mozzie-frying repellent. But seriously. Kill them. BWAHAHAHA
