I’m a doctor- and what I’m witnessing right now in Colombo and Kotte is frightening.
Although it's not the first time but yes this has become a seasonal disaster every now and then.
Chikungunya is back, and it’s not coming quietly. In just the past few days, I’ve treated patients—some as young as 12, some over 70—crippled by joint pain so severe they couldn’t walk.
"One elderly man sobbed in my clinic, not because of the fever, but because he couldn't hold a spoon."
Cases are rising fast.
🦟 The Aedes mosquito doesn’t need a dirty swamp—just a flowerpot.
The virus causes fever, rash, and joint pain—but it’s the long-term pain that ruins lives.
There’s no cure. No vaccine. Only painkillers and hope.
30–70% of people develop chronic arthritis-like pain lasting months or even years. Some never fully recover. For the poor, this means lost wages. For the elderly, lost mobility. For all of us—it means a health disaster we can still prevent.
But we’re running out of time.
✅ Clear standing water.
✅ Wear long sleeves.
✅ Use repellents.
✅ Shut your doors before dusk.
✅ Don’t ignore early symptoms.
You have the power to stop this—starting at home.
Please act now. Don’t wait for the pain to knock on your own door.
Share this. Clean your space. Protect your loved ones.

Tax free upto 1.8 million and then taxed progressively 6% to 15% thereafter?
By the looks of it, sounds fair.
What's the outrage about? Just anti NPP noise from cronies or serious concern?
Udaya Gammanpila being pilloried on national television for his inveterate racism in a country that has exonerated Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen... I have never enjoyed being a Sri Lankan as much as right now
"Happy Customer of Sri Lanka Police" : A viral picture of Yoshitha Rajapaksa, in a cheerful mood while seated at a police station following his arrest, is currently making waves on social media. Many users have called for similar facilities to be provided to other suspects under arrest, including the use of dual air-conditioned vans for transportation post-arrest.
The @adaderana report on Gnanasara Thero’s conviction today, repeated the very words that the Court found to be offensive.
Derana staying in character.
I suppose it will stop only after media bosses do some time for acting as platforms for hate.

Headline vs what was said.
We have a government with a super majority and instead of holding them accountable - non-state media acting like a regular tabloid is just sad!
This is why the Daily Error folks should maybe stick with doing a celebrity gossip blog or tarot readings
