They still don't know what caused it however, people in the Artibonite region are being told not to drink the water from the river. David Bark says Haiti cholera hospital is a horror scene

Guess what?

There are news report that people are now blocking the roads asking for water. They are thirsty and they are afraid of drinking the local water.

What is the Government doing?

With a Haitian government who couldn't even hand out a shovel to help a citizen rescue his dying brother dying brother under the rubbles, let's see what they come up with this time.

I've been holding my breath trying not to speak my mind publicly. I don't know how long I can hold it anymore!

There is an outbreak of cholera in Haiti that spans from Mirebalais all the way to Marchands Dessalines in a matter of days... and no word from our government...

The last time I checked, the government television station was playing a freaking documentary about Che Guevara in the middle of an outbreak!

WOW...

It is well known that Haiti government keeps its people in the dark about what it is doing.

That's an issue to ask candidates in the election to maybe fix. The election may need to be delayed again, because of this.

Instead of saying "No news from the government to the ordinary Haitian people, so they must be doing nothing" the focus should be on "Here is what the government and NGOs are telling the international community they are doing" vs. what is witnessed by people on the ground, to see if they are talk but no action, or if they telling the truth.
