Cholera in Haiti

One week before our arrival, and an epidemic of cholera is breaking out in Haiti.  On 23 October, there were 2,564 cases with 194 deaths.  This ought to be interesting, and challenging.  So far, the disease is centered a long way from our projected work-site in Carrefour.  Maybe we'll get to help anyway.  If cholera is not stomped out quickly in Haiti, this will become an epic disaster.  I've tried to reassure the team that we'll be safe and that I know how to protect them.  But, this epidemic has raised our anxiety level substantially.
