LIMA, Peru (AP) — Peru's health minister says an outbreak of plague has killed a 14-year-old boy and infected at least 31 people in a northern coastal province.

Health Minister Oscar Ugarte says authorities are screening sugar and fish meal exports from Ascope province, which is south of the city of Trujillo and home of the popular Chicama beach.

The WHO is rubbing thier grimey hands together, the flu season is coming and they sure hope they can get it right this time. For some time now I have seen and heard the novartis commercial on Dengue fever, I said to myself why is this of concern to me? dengue fever Africa? Keywest Florida has 28 confirmed cases thats why! Their coming at us from all sides. When are we going to realize we are the enemy under attack.

I have a friend who caught Dengue fever while working for charity program in the U.S. Virgin islands over forty years ago. He still suffers from bouts of it, but at the same time, the illness has caused him to take greater care of himself, and he is one of the fittest 65 year-olds you'd ever meet.

You're absolutely right and if the illegals had all worn the same uniform, they would have been considered invaders.
Worst of all is the US gov't siding with and fighting for illegals (eg, AZ) instead of Americans.
It's time to replace this gov't ... by any means.

It’s not really fair that we don’t have the rosies here. The booboos.

[LibertyRocks]

Thanks for the ping. Scary stuff... Fleas suck! (excuse the bad pun... we’re dealing with them - and probably losing - in our house right now. I’ve had pets for 15 years and have NEVER dealt with this before - it’s a nightmare!)

Prayers for those fighting this disease and for the family of the boy who died. Praise God for modern antibiotics.

One more reason - in addition to the hundreds we have - to CLOSE the borders now.
