Summary:

The main point of this article is about the brutal attack to the World Cup by dengue fever. Dengue fever which has the same effect as chronic influenza is all over the Brazilian city where Portugal’s team and Nigeria’s team will train for the World Cup. The virus is carried by mosquitos. More than 30000 people have been infected and 3 are dead. It is said that there is no cure for dengue fever, so prevention from being infected is the most important thing. Luckily, both teams are going to be in a mosquito-controlled place.

Reaction:

As I read through the article something was wrong. The news took up this article because the World Cup is being held. If the World Cup wasn’t held at Brazil, I think the brutal epidemic wouldn’t be any news. This is the point where I thought something was wrong. This kind of news should be informed at any circumstances. The article also says that the team is going to run a much smaller risk than the local people. I think the countermeasure should be held for local people too. Even though the soccer team has to train for world sized game, there should be no difference. What I want to say is that helping local people is a must and everyone should be more concerned about these kinds of matters not just focusing on the World Cup.
