Bud Light Continues to Suffer

The latest on Bud Light, if you’re interested to know. 

 

The beer continues to suffer – its sales has dived a staggering 28.5 percent! 

 

And Brendan Whitworth (right) still doesn't get it! The tone deaf Anheuser-Busch’s US CEO won't rule out Bud Light working with Dylan Mulvaney AGAIN – and then says the company need to “appreciate” what the consumer wants – despite the debacle costing them $20 billion and counting in market cap. 

 

Let's see if Bud Light's sales can become even worse.

 

Malaria is common in large areas of Africa, Asia and Central and South America – but not the US. 

 

It is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Four Plasmodium species (Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae) give disease in humans, and humans are their only relevant reservoir. Once the Plasmodia multiply inside the red blood cells, fever and multi-organ disease may ensue, which can be life-threatening when P. falciparum is involved. 

 

The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of an infected female Anopheles mosquito (right).

 

It is known as a 'night-biting' mosquito because it most commonly bites between sunset and sunrise. When a mosquito bites a person already infected with malaria, it becomes infected and spreads the parasite to the next person it bites. FYI, malaria can't be spread directly from person to person. 

 

People who get malaria are typically very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. 

 

And now, malaria has returned to the shores of the US. Florida and Texas are seeing locally acquired cases of malaria – the first spread of the mosquito-transmitted disease inside the country in 20 years, officials warn in a health alert. 

 

All five patients – four in Florida, one in Texas – have now had treatment.

 

Active surveillance for more cases is continuing, the Centres for Disease Control say. And they are confident the risk of catching malaria in the US remains extremely low. That's what they say.
