That doesn’t explain medical staff dying.

I read this sentence five times and I'm still not sure who died. I think the medical staff are OK and only the couple died.

Five people, including medical staff who came in close contact with the couple at the clinic where they were treated and both died, have been quarantined and are being monitored at a hospital in Nadi, Fiji, as a precaution.
Today's "journalists" really need fourth grade remedial English training.

You can add Dominican Republic to that list. At least three Americans have died there recently from a fast acting mystery disease—healthy one minute, dead a few minutes later.

My guess, and it's just a guess based on very little information...

There is a freon leak in their room. If they smoke, when they draw chlorofluorocarbon contaminated air through the coal on the cigarette, the heat breaks it down to carbon monoxide chloride - COCl2 - also know as phosgene.

On the battlefield, phosgene caused death by pulmonary edema. Other symptoms include nausea and vomiting...

Food poisoning is the first thing they test for because it’s so common and easily treated.

I’m more suspicious of the mini bar and counterfeit booze.

The Deep State wants the disease outbreak. They can blame the anti vax movement, (the deep state is a drug cartel after all), cement a demand for one payer health care, control population by controlling medicine during the incidents, and probably a bunch more other things lobbyist have paid for.

It’s going to be Ciguatera fish poisoning. Just like what is described here:
