Learn 7 - Dengue Fever and the importan of Ushaidi
I am afraid that my country could be a serious victim of the dengue plague, we already have more 5000 suspicious cases and 1800 confirmed for this year.
What is the dengue fever?
says some 2.5 billion people, two fifths of the world's population, are
now at risk from dengue and estimates that there may be 50 million
cases of dengue infection worldwide every year. The disease is now
endemic in more than 100 countries. Resume of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_fever
What is the situation of my country currenly?
In Paraguay in February of this year, the Ministry of Public Health send an epidemiological alert, after the confirmation of the present in Paraguay of the DEN-2 Dengue virus. A new kind of the virus. The Ministry of Public Health esteem that there are 5000 suspicious cases of dengue and 1.828 cases confirmed.
How tthe Ushahidi platform could help us?
If we might face the amplification of this crisis in the future the Ushahidi platform could help us to share urgent information and data for the system of FrontlineSMS integration and extension http://www.frontlinesms.com (It’s easy to implement, simple to operate, and best of all, the software is free. You just pay for the messages you send in the normal
way), and the Sahana system . http://www.sahanafoundation.org/.
That to system can help us a lot with the distribution of information an the case of a person get lose in the midle of an epidemic.

I hope everything is OK for you guys on the opposite side of the world from me. We had a pretty scary outbreak of SARS here a few years back and scarcity of reliable information resulted in shutdowns that were very damaging to the larger economy and community.
If you can pinpoint what's going on you can focus your response to maximise the benefit and minimise the impact on everyone else.

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
