Slow Saturday Special: Cholera Crisis in New Guinea

I should be thankful it made the morning paper, right?

"40 dead of cholera in Papua New Guinea" by Associated Press | February 13, 2010

SYDNEY - The island nation of Papua New Guinea is struggling to contain its first cholera outbreak in 50 years, which has killed at least 40 people and sickened 2,000 over the past several months, a top World Health Organization official said.

The disease, which has spread through several provinces, could become endemic if the government does not do more to educate people and ensure they have access to clean water, said WHO representative Eigil Sorenson.

“There is no sign the epidemic is contained,’’ he said. “Most of the deaths have occurred in newly affected areas before awareness of the disease has reached the community.’’

Cholera, primarily a water-borne disease that causes severe diarrhea, usually occurs in settlements with poor water sanitation. Sorenson said the outbreak could become a major challenge for the health care system of the country.

Translation: It kills you in a most gruesome way.

WHO epidemiologist Alexander Rosewell said it was not clear why the disease had suddenly returned, and Sorenson said greater efforts were needed to get piped water to the settlements.

That's when I start thinking of globalists releasing some of their bug viruses to eliminate useless eaters.

Yeah, NOTHING about the INDONESIAN GENOCIDE, seeing as Indonesia is an ally, right?

Considering the AmeriKan MSM's failings on the East Timor genocide, the agenda-pushing MSM ignorance begins to seem willful, doesn't it?

I guess that's why this item was a one-day wonder on a Slow Saturday (and a brief to boot).
