Health Ministry Takes Action: Investigating the Strange Disease Outbreak In a concerning turn of events, over 200 people in the Egyptian village of Al-aleikat, located in the Qena governorate, have been infected with a mysterious disease, causing alarm among the residents.
Oh good. Millennials are due for another world calamity. We’ve had one plague. Why not a second plague?
We’re fucked this time, because now we have dedicated antivaxx/mask/ers, and those bunch of assholes are pretty much pro-plague.
Yes, but this time we know who they are and we can lock them all outside and let them infect each other.
Mwahahahahaha!Yeah, you wish… If only it were that simple.
they are only antimask when they’re asked to care for others.
They are still fully pro-mask when they are doing their fashy marches
This is the worst second breakfast meme I’ve come across yet… And, sadly, the most relatable.
Already have 5 cases of toilet paper plus the other thing purchases from the last pandemic. UVC sanitation stations, diy hand sanitizer kit, and 3D printed mask face masks and shields.
I know the toilet paper wars were bad, but you think it’ll come to the point of needing shields??
We’re about due for a great crab-en-ing.
HYPE
Yes cuz millenials are singled out and targetted with all world events revolving around and affecting only them.
Millennials are also like 40 now, so COVID equally impacted like 4 generations. It’s not like calamity is new to anyone Gen X and above either.
According to this article, it’s an outbreak of Dengue fever:
The lack of people actually reading the article and saying it’s like a new plague, and you pop along, you who actually read the article and you say it’s just dengue fever.
Needless to say I didn’t read the article and been just enjoyin’ the tin foil hat (or face mask) conversation going on in the comments.
So the article title calls it a MyStErY but then literally calls it by name? Garbage tier journalism
My friends, the link I posted above is a different article than the one provided by OP. The article provided by OP doesn’t identify the disease, however, the article I posted does. It seems likely that at the time the article linked to this post was written, the source either didn’t have this information yet, didn’t do enough research, just wanted to stir up clicks, or some combination of these things. Reading, folks, it’s good for your bones!
Which makes it funnier that the other commenter was complaining about people not reading the article and he didn’t read OP’s article either.
Yes that’s what the tests have found.
There are also big dengue outbreaks in Laos and Bangladesh.
Are broken bones common with Dengue fever?
Well it’s also known as “breakbone fever”. Seems likely this is the cause.
… the persistence of the strange disease for up to 7 days. Symptoms such as high temperatures, broken bones, vomiting, dizziness, and headaches have left the community grappling with uncertainty and fear.
I’m going to hope the broken bones was a side-effect from the dizziness and falls. If not, that disease sounds scary.
Randomly broken bones sounds like it’s pollution linked. It looks like there’s a lot of aluminum production there, so maybe heavy metals?
Does aluminum production produce a lot of heavy metal byproducts? It’s a lithophile (it tends to congregate with crust-y rocks and oxygen rather than stuff that ends up in the core or in sulphide deposits) so I’m guessing not.
Not sure in what quantities but a few rare earths do appear in bauxite deposits.
Looking at a table of Goldshmidt classifications, chromium and vanadium should too. None of those are usually called heavy metals, though.
Well, my backlog for shows, books and games have grown again. I think I need another lockdown. /s
Broken and painful bones does not sound like a fun cluster of symptoms. COVID sucked but I want to avoid this disease at all costs.
Yes Dengue fever is bad.
I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
I dont know, for me broken bones < pulmon failure and need for oxygen mask
That’s true, but for me COVID manifested flu-like symptoms and I was still largely functional. A disease with flu-like symptoms that also breaks my bones is thus a downgrade.
No no no no no no no! We’re not even done with the last one!
Oh sweet, bone fever
My only regret is that I have bone-itis.
You beat me by the time it took to verify I had the quote right.
Whenever I have to check quotes for Futurama I always go to Morbotron. It’s quick if you have a good enough guess. (Also Frinkiac for The Simpsons and Master of All Science for Rick and Morty)
Oh come on there will be another pandemic? Yikes
