A lot of my readers are no doubt familiar with Nature News senior reporter Declan Butler for, among many accomplishments, his early work in bringing the avian flu story to the public.
But Butler is hardly a Johnny one-note. He holds a PhD in marine biology from the University of Leeds, and writes on a variety of scientific issues.
Today he brings us background and sobering analysis of the potential impact of the cholera epidemic on Haiti’s population over the next year or so.
A hat tip to David Dobbs for retweeting this link.
I’ve just posted his lede.
Follow the link to read it in its entirety. As with practically anything Butler writes, this is highly recommended.
Cholera tightens grip on Haiti
Those tackling the epidemic are struggling to keep pace with an escalating crisis.
As cholera rampages through Haiti, some epidemiologists are warning that the country could face more than half a million cases over the coming year. Yet tracking and treating the disease is proving increasingly difficult as civil unrest grips the county.
