Malawi seems to have two holidays on the same day; also, does anyone know for sure whether Principia was published today or on July 5? Vicki Rosenzweig
[edit] Dengue Fever in Cuba
I notice that the article about Dengue Fever does not mention that the disease has apparently been weaponized given the outbreak in Cuba. I think either the Dengue Fever article should be updated (beyond my competance) or an article further explaining the July 6, 1981 attack on Cuba should be provided (again, not my purview).
