| The cholera death toll in Haiti is rising daily, with official figures indicating that 3,333 people have died since the outbreak of the epidemic in mid-October. Official sources state that, as a result of cholera, the numbers have averaged out to around 50 new reported deaths a day. If this rate were to continue on throughout 2011, this would result in another 18,000 plus deaths. If it wasn't for the heroic efforts of the Cuban medical task force in Haiti, the numbers would have already been much higher and become even higher next year. Why aren't other countries trying to duplicate Cuba's efforts? |
