In Haiti, 442 people have died from an outbreak of cholera and researchers are trying to figure out if the UN peace keepers were the source of the outbreak. U.S. center of disease control thought that the strand came from south asia. There is debate whether time should be spent on investigating the outbreak or not. People are worried that the disease started from a Nepalese base with men from Nepal. Experts can’t prove anything but they are pretty sure that it was carried into Haiti.
I think that outbreaks in diseases happen too much. People don’t usually know what to do about them either. It’s not fair that Haiti had to suffer through a bad earthquake, and is now struggling from disease. People should spend time trying to figure out where the disease came from and how it works because then they can prevent it from spreading and killing other people. If there was an outbreak of cholera in Nepalese then those men should have been tested for the disease before they were allowed to enter Haiti which was already suffering.
