Cholera coming to your neighborhood soon

[MARIS61]

With over a thousand dead in Haiti it's assured cholera will soon enter the US, assuming it hasn't already.

Haiti has long been the travel gateway through which viruses and plagues reach the US, most infamously bringing us the still growing AIDS epidemic a few decades ago.

yes. because cholera doen't kill is victims within 48 hours and isn't due to contaminated water supplies.

Despite the lowest standard of living in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti has never in its history had ONE case of cholera--until the UN troops from Nepal infected them a few months ago. The thousand deaths (and growing) have now hit the majority of Haiti's provinces. It is spreading over the whole island, and the final toll will be a lot more than a thousand.

Haitians hate having foreign troops there, and during demonstrations against the foreign-induced cholera epidemic, the UN troops killed a Haitian demonstrator a couple of days ago. Question: What do foreign troops do that native troops can't, other than take away tens of thousands of jobs from the starving natives?
