From our Bureau of Noble Savages Who Are Too Stupid To Deal With Their Own Local Diseases with some assistance from our Russification of Cuba Bureau
As Dengue and Oropouche infections multiply in Castrogonia, Czar Vlad the Invader is sending some Russian experts to investigate tropical infections. Yes, Cubans are too dumb to figure out the mess they have created by not using pesticides and allowing the island’s towns and cities to fill up with trash piles on every street.
Colonial paternalism in action. Socialism in action. Bring in colonial masters to investigate the mosquitoes that transmit the epidemic, but do nothing to eradicate them. If Czar Vlad really wanted to help, he’d be sending pesticides and garbage trucks.
Loosely translated from Cubita Now
In an effort to enhance healthcare collaboration between Russia and Cuba, the Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare of Russia (Rospotrebnadzor) has announced the visit of several of its specialists to the Caribbean island. This trip, scheduled from August 5 to 8, aims to update and strengthen knowledge about tropical infections.
During their stay in Havana, Russian scientists, in collaboration with their Cuban colleagues, will conduct detailed research on tropical diseases affecting the region. Among the infections of interest is Oropouche fever, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that has raised concerns due to its epidemic potential.
For these investigations, high-tech testing systems developed by Rospotrebnadzor will be used, enabling precise and detailed analysis of the infections studied. This cooperation not only seeks to improve the health and epidemiological well-being of the Cuban population but also aims to contribute to global efforts in the fight against diseases with epidemic potential.
In addition to research, this visit is expected to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences between scientists from both countries, thus promoting a deeper understanding and more effective strategies to combat tropical infections. This type of international cooperation is vital for developing faster and more efficient responses to potential epidemic outbreaks.
