Deadly Virus Strikes South America

In a tragic turn of events, Brazil has reported the world's first deaths from the Oropouche virus. Two young women have succumbed to this deadly illness, sending shockwaves through the medical community.

The victims, aged 21 and 23, initially experienced mild symptoms, but their condition rapidly deteriorated. Within four days of the onset of symptoms, they began bleeding profusely from their nose, vagina, and gums. This uncontrollable bleeding proved fatal, leading to their untimely deaths.
