Typhoid Fever Outbreak Update in Real, Quezon (Philippines)
As an update to my previous article on the Typhoid Fever Outbreak in Real, Quezon (Philippines), I am posting here the latest statistics on typhoid fever in the area. As of this writing, there are already more than 100 confirmed cases of typhoid fever in the town and the river (which is the primary source of drinking water of the people there) has already been inspected by DOH officials.
It was clear from video footages that the river is contaminated because the net used in filtering dirt was already damaged. On the other hand, even if the net was still in good condition, its filtering capabilities are limited and bacteria can still pass through it. Hence, this improvised filter is not reliable. For a related outbreak in the Philippines, please read the previous article titled “Cholera Outbreak in Misamis Oriental, Philippines Affects Hundreds” which has already affected almost a thousand individuals in Misamis Oriental.

Billy,
You said it right. Dito nga sa Pilipinas eh “BAWAL MAGKASAKIT” gaya ng commercial sa TV. This is because mahal ang gamot dito.
