       By: Steve Date: February 11, 2024, 4:22 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       SUMMARY - The country of Brazil is expecting an "enormous
       outbreak" of Dengue fever this season based upon what other
       nations in South America are experiencing so far. Dengue fever
       is a virus spread by mosquitoes. The southernmost states in
       Brazil are already experiencing high numbers of cases. Severe
       Dengue fever, if left untreated, has a 15% mortality rate,
       although typical mortality rates are between 2% and 5%.

       SUMMARY - The country of Brazil has already recorded 1.6 million
       cases of Dengue Fever, a total which surpasses all of the
       reported cases in 2023. There are currently 491 deaths
       attributed to the virus and another 889 deaths being
       investigated to see if they were also caused by the virus. The
       government has responded to this wave of infections and deaths
       with a variety of methods, one of which being releasing
       mosquitoes infected with a bacteria that makes them resistant to
       infecting humans with the virus.
