Two sets of parents, each of whom has already lost one son to the disease, are now watching their remaining sons battle the same illness and are urging authorities to act urgently rather than risk further deaths. The article centres on the personal accounts of these grieving parents, who describe the anguish of facing the disease a second time within their own families and their frustration at what they see as inadequate state support or intervention. Their appeal frames the issue as a matter of urgency, warning that further delay in action could cost more young lives. --- Summarised by TalkFuse (https://talkfuse.com/).
