Anybody that has been down there recently feel free to comment.

Wear your mosquito repellent. Stay in the cockpit or enclosed areas of the building as much as possible. Expedite your walk around. Dengue rarely kills young healthy people:


Between 2014 and 2017, the annual dengue case fatality rate (CFR) ranged from 0.02% to 0.04% in Mexico, 0.04% to 0.07% in Brazil, and 0.06% to 0.16% in Colombia.4
But it’s not called “break-bone fever” because it’s pleasant to get.
