If this cholera epidemic in Haiti that has already killed 1,700 people is just the wave, then we are in big trouble.

Here is what St. John's doctor Tiffany Keenan told CBC news:

"What we are hearing now is that this is the wave before the tsunami hits. Then we can expect that this is going to go on for several months and our need for more staff is going to expand in the very near future"

Dr. Keenan says that her little clinic north of Cap Haitien has been operating 24 hours a day since November 22 because "The local hospitals are overrun with cholera patients and under-staffed"

And this is just the wave before the tsunami hits?

Oh Boy!

Will Haiti be able to kill this monster?
