When I decided to do a current event article on my country, Panama, I had to find a number of articles and read them before deciding on one. This helped me to learn about the government and every day life of people in Panama. I decided to write about a deadly sickness in Panama called Dengue fever. The more severe type of this sickness is called Hemorrhagic Dengue. Some say that this will become an epidemic, like infectious disease specialist and researcher Dr. Xavier Saez-Llorens. There have already been 1196 cases of Dengue this year, including several cases of Hemorrhagic Dengue.
