TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Chikungunya virus don burst for China, and e be like say mosquito wan turn land lord for town! Authorities don report say over 7,000 cases don happen particularly for Foshan, wey dey near Hong Kong.
As of Wednesday, number of new cases dey drop small small, but no forget say the thing don cause serious wahala (if mosquito no fit rest, how we go fit rest?). The virus dey spread through mosquito bites, and e dey cause fever and joint pain, wey fit vex young pikin, old people and those wey get health wahala.
Chinese state television dey show workers dey spray insecticide like say dem dey perform some kind science experiment around streets, buildings and even construction sites. Na everything wey fit house mosquitoes wey dey lay egg for stagnant water. (Abeg, wetin be this? Mosquito don get dem own fan club now?)
For people wey no fit clear dem stagnant water, fine fit reach 10,000 yuan ($1,400). E fit pain reach dem to even cut your electricity! Na serious matter o.
Because of this chikungunya wahala, U.S. don drop travel advice for citizens wey dey plan to visit Guangdong province. Na where Donguan and other business hubs dey, no forget say even Brazil dey suffer from this disease wahala too.
Heavy rains and hot temperature don worsen the situation, as this chikungunya matter no dey show any sign of mercy. China don learn how to handle virus outbreaks since SARS in 2003, so dem dey take hard measures again. Dem dey force patients to stay for hospital for at least one week, and dem don drop two-week home quarantine wey no make sense since the virus no dey spread between people.
