Children getting the disease and Economic Burden

I really like what you said in the Complications and Sequelae section about the Children and other individuals developing complications from the Dengue fever. I think maybe you could've gone more in depth about how the Zika virus and other tropical diseases make recovery more challenging. Also, when you talked about the Economic burden, I think you could've gone more in depth on what exactly some of that was due too, and how the money was disbursed. Otherwise, I really like the information you added. Jaxon.McElwee (talk) 15:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
