Many thanks to reader Lucie LeComte for sending me the link to El Blog de Medicina Cubana. It's completely new to me, though it started in 2005. I've put links to it in the Bloggers and Español lists. Here's a post from today: ¿Continua o se puso fin a la epidemia de Cólera en Cuba? [Is the Cuban cholera epidemic continuing or over?] Excerpt, with my translation:
De nuevo las autoridades de salud en Cuba mienten. Se trata de no reconocer una epidemia que puede poner en serio peligro el turismo en Cuba. Los mentirosos contumaces que gobiernan a Cuba solo les interesan el dinero que entra del turismo y no la salud de la población. Niegan toda enfermedad epidémica que aparece en la Isla y cuando no pueden ocultarla manipulan la información.
Again the health authorities in Cuba are lying. It's about not admitting an epidemic that could put Cuban tourism is serious danger. The liars who govern Cuba are interested only in the money from tourism and not in the people's health. They deny all epidemic illness that appears in the island and when they can't hide it they manipulate the information.
Cuando apareció el brote de Cólera en el oriente del país lo negaron hasta donde pudieron y declararon que estaba controlado aunque seguían reportándose pacientes. El Cólera llegó a la Habana y cuando no podían seguir escondiendo el problema de salud que esto representaba, reportaron 51 casos, cuando ya la prensa independiente, desde 2012, venía haciéndolo. Ahora dicen que está controlado el Cólera también en La Habana.
When the cholera outbreak appeared in the eastern part of the country, they denied it as long as they could and then declared it was under control though patients continued to be reported. Cholera reached Havana and when they couldn't go on hiding the health problem this meant, they reported 51 cases when the independent press, since last year, had been reporting it. Now they say cholera is controlled in Havana too.If you read Spanish, the rest of the post includes links to several reports on cholera in Cuba—some of which I've linked to and translated from.
