The lack of people actually reading the article and saying it's like a new plague, and you pop along, you who actually read the article and you say it's just dengue fever.
Needless to say I didn't read the article and been just enjoyin' the tin foil hat (or face mask) conversation going on in the comments.
Are broken bones common with Dengue fever?
Well it's also known as "breakbone fever". Seems likely this is the cause.
Oh good. Millennials are due for another world calamity. We've had one plague. Why not a second plague?
Already have 5 cases of toilet paper plus the other thing purchases from the last pandemic. UVC sanitation stations, diy hand sanitizer kit, and 3D printed mask face masks and shields.
This is the worst second breakfast meme I've come across yet... And, sadly, the most relatable.
Yes cuz millenials are singled out and targetted with all world events revolving around and affecting only them.
Millennials are also like 40 now, so COVID equally impacted like 4 generations. It's not like calamity is new to anyone Gen X and above either.
Oh come on there will be another pandemic? Yikes
Broken and painful bones does not sound like a fun cluster of symptoms. COVID sucked but I want to avoid this disease at all costs.
Yes Dengue fever is bad.
I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
Randomly broken bones sounds like it's pollution linked. It looks like there's a lot of aluminum production there, so maybe heavy metals?
Does aluminum production produce a lot of heavy metal byproducts? It's a lithophile (it tends to congregate with crust-y rocks and oxygen rather than stuff that ends up in the core or in sulphide deposits) so I'm guessing not.
Not sure in what quantities but a few rare earths do appear in bauxite deposits.
Looking at a table of Goldshmidt classifications, chromium and vanadium should too. None of those are usually called heavy metals, though.
