114 prisoners sick with symptoms resembling dengue

A substantial number of inmates at the Belize Central Prison have come down with what appears to be symptoms of dengue fever.  Newly appointed CEO Earl Jones today confirmed that one hundred and fourteen prisoners at the facility are being monitored closely for the virus.  Of the number currently under observation two have been confirmed to display the flu-like symptoms associated with dengue but there is still no confirmed cases.  Jones further noted that the rash inside the prison comes a week after the Public Health Authority sprayed the facility to rid its grounds of the mosquito larvae.

    That good life in the jail shocked their system. Now send the murderers & rapist Pratt to KHMH to have their appendices removed & save Mr. Pitts & the prosecutors office & the tax payers some money.

    Oh this sounds so familiar to me. Those no-good spraying sprees. I know for a fact that once that pickup has passed with the poison sprayer, those mosquitos get bigger and more vicious than ever. Plus the health people are not caring for health. Every time that poison sprays, my wife gets a terrible headache.. ANTI HEALTH is what it is!!! What about pregnant ladies? They lose their babies through this nonesense. Please, think about it
