6000 Dead of Cholera in Haiti, 400,000 Infected

Just think...

There were a total of 2,996 deaths in the September 11 incident in the United States, undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies the United States has experienced.

Things that make you go Hmmm...

popdecay.com reports: "UN speculates that the contagion has spread because Haitians are NOW relying on rivers as their main source of water for drinking, bathing and washing."

Correction: Haitians have ALWAYS relied on rivers as their main source of water for drinking, bathing, and washing...

Call me a bushman but... if there's one thing I miss about Haiti it is the ability to dive in a cool, nice, clean river and relax there a bit... That's the reason I refused to move to Port-au-Prince when had the choice...

Did you bathe in a tub in Haiti growing up or did you bathe nan BATHTUB pep la? (The nearest river to your house)

Did you grow up drinking Poland Springs, Dansani, and Culligan water growing up in Haiti or did you drink DLO SOUS?

Did 6,000 people die each year from some water disease in Haiti when you were growing up?

As a young child up to my teenage years, I used to look forward to the summer vacations heading to the country side in L'Artibonite swimming in the rivers, bathing without restrictions, having to ration the amount of water usage, because the water quantity was endless.

I have so many good memories down by the river side that I will forever hold dear. The rivers, well-water, spring water are All we have. The generation before us used the same streams and we never had an outbreak of this killing disease anywhere before in Haiti.

We all know where the cholera came from. I swam in your rivers pre UN peacekeeper days in the Artibonite Valley.

Excuse me for asking.

Do UN officials know what the are talking about.They have a lot of nerves.They should use better excuses to justify the infectious disease that their so called peace- keepers inflicted on the residents where they station.

We never encountered such outburst of cholera, We used the water from the rivers for cooking, washing, bathing, swimming and nobody ever developed any serious disease as the Cholera.The UN better look closer to find out where the disease is coming
