Really scary virus. Good thing it's not an airborne virus. No treatments or vaccine for it other than treating the symptoms which can raise your chances of survival.

Where we live we have to contend with dengue fever which is transmitted through mosquito bites. Two of my wife's nefews (one of them was a niece) were hospitalized for it . Our eight year old son got it too but didn't need to be hospitalized.

There are four dengue viruses. One of them can be fatal when the platelets drop a lot. My son's platelets count dropped to 40 from an average of 350. They all drank tavatava tea which locals but not the hospitals or doctors use. The tea brings the platelets up back to the normal range. Platelets that are too low can cause hemorragic fever and death. Three years ago there were 290,000 cases of dengue fever in the country with 1000 deaths. That was probably the worst year ever. Quercetin is the main ingredient of tava tava tea. I have some tablets left and I am buying more soon. Tava tava grows outside our house. You just boil the leaves to make a tea.

All I can say is we humans are vulnerable to too many illnesses/diseases and natural and man-made disasters which can wreak unbelievable havoc, pain, suffering and death.
