Great news. A meeting. Can a commission with photo ops be far behind?

What a joke you,re LF, now you trying to do something. You too late we are all over the news allover the world, check it out for your self a CNN,MSN,YAHOO etc, Now LF because you din't closed the border on time and still let haitians in, pay the price for it. You gonna see the tourist will cancel fly to DR , and the worst of all Dominican people getting sick as well.

Haitians didn't cause the outbreak, the UN did, so you keep blaming Haitians all you want.


All evidence points to the United Nations.

Can you please tell me all the evidence as the Nepalese have tested negative ?? I thought it was a reporter who had come in just at the time as all the waste water from the make shift toilets was mixing with the drinking water .

Relax,

Every year there is something to fear, some people just want to blame goverment for everything.

It is so easy to blame! The media has been scaring folks about Mexico lately and the danger but look at the stats on people arriving and the number of deaths and it is still actually safe but some people eat up all the media hype.

In the end shit happens and you deal with it or stay in a bubble and hide in your home because of fear.

I will take my chances at the beach!

ranaru," give me the proof that the UN did it. ridiculo you and the rest of the haitian that blaming the UN. they there to help and thas how you people pay them back.

Does ANYONE think these f…en morons have ANY clue as to how dangerous Cholera is?

I guess since LF made that horrendous remark about it, I have no doubt they are clueless.

What an embarrassment.

Act fast!

underpar, Sosua beach is directly hit with the fecal matter of 1000’s living in Sosua Abajo and above.

The perfect breeding ground for Cholera. I’d stay out of ANY water.

and the worst of all Dominican people getting sick as well.= Of course we are #2 Pigs in the world!

We knew this was going to happen. Anyone with a brain knows how corrupt the average Dominican is. So you have an extremely contagious disease on the same island and everyone on the side with the disease under normal conditions wants to get to the other side. Now throw in the disease to motivate people to want to get over the border. Getting over the border only requires a small amount of money. Who didn't know this was going to pass over the border? It was 100% going to happen.

Government clowns say that everything is under control...
The local hospitals are in no way prepared to fight an outbreak, they often do not have soap in their toilets and no water.
No high season in tourism this year.

OK somebody help me...I seen where the HatianGov. confesscated everything thats was donated by all countrys because of a tax or tariff payment they wanted...there palletts full of medical supplys sitting in warehouses and people who came to hatie to help said the hell with this BS I'm out of here...Where's Bill clinton,Geroge Bush and friends who was in charge of the rebuilding of a better hatie with there rich International friends

This might be a blessing in disguise. If LF has any kind of balls, he should immediately send troops to the border and completely stop the crossings. He has always been afraid to create a negative image for himself, but now he has a real good excuse. If he really cares about the DR, he will do something now. If he does nothing then we know for sure, he just don't give a shit about his country, only about himself and if that is the case, he should be ousted out of office.

I doubt that LF and the gang have not had some contingencies planned out. Certainly, LF and staff have tried to give this situation as little publicity as possible. Because of the nature of this epidemic and the possible negative perception the same may have on travel to the vacations spots in DR, LF and the boys don't want to stir up more headlines. The UN and the international community have acted inadequately and many innocent people are suffering the consequences in Haiti. Sadly, the historical pattern that Cholera takes leaves one with little confidence that its cross over will not become endemic on our side of the island. Man, what a dreadful situation at hand. Most people will be safe, as most practice good hygiene and have potable water and soap aplenty in DR. But what about the extreme poor and the migrant communities? Cholera strikes in the poorest recesses of the society, sadly, DR has a "few" of those around. Time for controlled preventive actions

It's too late I'm sorry because of the Internet new's travel vwery fast as we know..I'ts saying that there are riots in the streets true or not..and yes this will hurt the DR as far as new visiters to the Island

Ricardolito:

Please do some research. The facts are there for those who want to acknowledge and

The CDC confirms the cholera strain in Haiti comes from South Asia.

Harvard Scientist = South Asia.

Swedish scientist = Nepal.

Cholera = Endemic in Nepal.

Nepal is in South Asia.

AP photo spotted a UN tank dumping untreated sewage in one of the rivers that connects with the main Artibonite river.

Nepalese troops are in the area where it emerged. If this was due to the unsanitary conditions of the earthquake, then it would have emerged in the areas that were compromised by the earthquake, and the Artibonite is not one of them. Artibonite is 4 - 5 hours away from the where everything happened.

Not long ago someone her mentioned that the UN would bring some sort of disease....Whomever mentioned it .........YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD WITH THAT ONE.....SPOT ON MY FRIEND.

leonel just cancel any haitian entry to DR legal or not!!!

For once the isolation of the tourist sector works to their advantage. With this relative isolation at hand, DR should not experience a noticeable decline in tourism. But the potential exist, if this issue is not handled correctly, for significant downward revision. I would expect LF and the business sector to pull out all the measures and countermeasures at their disposal. Too much is at stake.

I pray for my family and other Dominicans there

LEONEL get out of your office and house and do something NOW
