dengue fever could be here to stay

[shockwave rider]

All the holidays between Thanksgiving and the New Year created pukas in the reporting flow causing these mini spikes in the numbers with gaps in between. Overall the rate of new cases has declined which is encouraging, because even though the total number of cases keeps climbing, it is doing so much more slowly since the Fight the Bite campaign started.

The long delay in hiring new vector control people is ridiculous though, they might have prevented or diminished the Miloli'i cluster with proactive measures, because the next village over from Ho'okena getting dengue was pretty predictable.
