The Nook: Cholera Outbreak in Zimbawe


Almost 2,000 people have died from the recent cholera outbreak. Another 40,000 are infected by the preventable disease. Red Cross has delivered 13 tons of supplies this week to combat the outbreak but they still desperately need chemicals to treat the tainted water.

Should someone go in to help the infected?
Should the infected be quarintined?

they definitely should be quarantined until they can be helped, the UN not the US should be helping

hide them in a cave and maybe they'll mutate. Then they can raise up and the CWA students at that time will have an awesome story to read about.

Well, obviously the Red Cross is trying their best to help them out...and I think it'd be pretty hard to get 40,000 people across Zimbawe into a quarintined area, but it'd probably help.

Of course someone should go help the infected.
And quarantine? I can imagine the environment they would be place in looking like a refugee camp. That would also take them away from their families and such.
