Dengue Fever Outbreak Response

Sri Lanka is experiencing a sharp rise in dengue fever infections that is overwhelming hospitals, prompting military deployment to help curb the spread. Authorities report over 1,000 dengue patients being admitted daily across the country.

Nothing says "we've got this under control" like calling in the military to fight an enemy you can't see with bullets. Sri Lanka really said "forget epidemiologists, get me a tank"—because what dengue fever needs is shock and awe tactics. Pretty sure the mosquitoes are just vibing at home watching 1,000+ daily admissions like "damn, we're actually winning this war."
