We have a group on facebook called Dengue Fever Outbreak in the Bahamas Community. The page is for the dissemination of information and notices as well as to hear from the public. If you have been affected or know someone who has let us know. If we work together we can hopefully stem the tide of sickness! There has been a flutter of activity in the group again recently. We have just under 1,100 members at present. It is an open and well moderated group but you are more than welcome to join and post on dengue related issues. The current initiative is to establish some working groups within the islands (a good few islands are represented in our membership as well as the international community). If anyone is interested and can provide help, particularly their time, even if only to dump out a few containers of water they come across in a walk of their street, use of trucks etc. then I look forward to hearing from you via the group page. I am based in the UK but I am putting together a list of volunteers and what they can do and we'll take it from there.
