The cholera outbreak in Haiti continues, and it has now killed three hundred people. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has seen a commonality compared to cholera in Haiti and in South Asia. The researchers found the patterns in the DNA, and not only are the similar in South Asia, but also in parts all around the world. Although this does not explain the sudden outbreak, it does exclude connection between South America. As a result of this finding, the United Nations is now under more observation, because of the base that is located near a river where many people are affected. If the cholera is identical to the bases cholera, this creates a link between the two. The United Nations continues to say that they are not responsible, because they perform correct sanitation processes, but there are many coincidences between the two. Finding the main staring point for disease may decrease the chance for it spreading to other places .One coincidence is that there were troops at the base that had cholera before arriving in Haiti. Hopefully the United Nations is not involved in making all of these people sick.
I would be horrible if the United Nations was involved in the spreading of this disease. They are supposed to be responsible for keeping the world under control, not causing epidemics and more problems. They need to do more research to make sure that they are not the staring point for the strand of cholera that seems to be all over the world. Hopefully it will soon be shown that they are not responsible, and if they are they need to take blame for what they have done. I hope one day this disease will be taken care of so that no more epidemics arise.
