The death of a man in Brasilia hospital has many Brazilians on alert and lining up for a vaccine against yellow fever:

Hundreds of thousands of people have been queuing for vaccinations for the disease in parts of Brazil, after 12 suspected cases in recent weeks.

Eight of those cases, three of them fatal, are still being investigated.

Yellow fever is transmitted by infected mosquitoes and is generally confined to rural or jungle areas of Brazil.

Huh, that’s funny. Miguel didn’t email to tell us he was planning a trip to Brazil.
