Another Catastrophe In The Making?

Excerpt from Rediff:

But chief medical officer Dr Thanammal is a worried lady. She said, "One tragedy has already happened and a greater tragedy is waiting to happen. There can be a typhoid or Cholera outbreak here within a week. The incubation period for these diseases is a week. You see the flies buzzing around the corpses? They will spread the disease. We need anti-cholera and anti-typhoid injections for the entire population here. We have made a request to the government and are waiting for supplies."

People should drink only boiled water. The decomposing bodies are contaminating water everywhere, she warned.
"The media should inform the public that an epidemic is staring them in the face and they should take preventive measures," she said.

I request all doctors, pharma companies, and any one that has anything to donate to the medical supplies to rush their contributions immediately.
