Its not a big deal. Yes older people and young children die from Malaria if they do not seek immediate medical attention. Guess what happens to old people and young children in the USA if they don't seek medical attention for the flu?
Wow. Good friend of mine did some flying in Africa for Bombardier. He contracted Malaria and died at the age of 46. He went to a hospital, actually several. Columbia University Medical Center in New York and UCLA Cedars Sinai, all terrific institutions. Passed away a little more than a year after contracting it from liver failure.
Delta has gone to great lengths to educate and provide meds to its employes. You might want to consider deleting such an irresponsible statement.
