Cholera in Haiti

While everyone's been playing Zionist fantasy the inevitable has happened with Haiti experiencing it's first major Cholera outbreak in over 100 years.

So far the outbreak has been confined to the northern, rural area around Antibonte. Here there have been some 2700 confirmed case of the bacterial infection that causes vomiting and diarrhoea. This has caused over 210 deaths. The most worrying development it 5 cases of the disease have appeared in the capital Port-au-Prince. If the disease is able to take hold in the shanty towns and makeshift refugee camps that litter this urban area we could easily be looking at 1000+ deaths by the end of the week.

Medical agencies in the country have dealt with Cholera many times before and seem prepared for an outbreak. However Haitians are advised to boil all water before use. Not to eat raw vegetables and to wash their hands as often as possible with soap and water.

On the plus side the outbreak does provide the perfect opportunity to cancel the country's upcoming election. This is a really good idea because would allow the current government to stay in place giving Haiti the political stability it desperately needs to unlock its trust fund and finally start re-building after January's earthquake.
