Mismanagement and corruption are usually normal in Bangladesh. Govment doesn't even express condole.

Corrupted interim government failed to ensure good health.

Measles erases any immunity built up to other diseases so a lot of measles death come from secondary infections and not just measles. That's one scary virus! It ERASES information in your body. So your white blood cells are like, "New phone, who dis?" Instead of, "BLOCKED! Don't call me again, Virus. You will be ATTACKED!"
