Deadly Cholera Outbreak In Cuba

Rev 6:7,8  NCV  When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

“The fact that we see signs of the four horsemen galloping through our world today should not fill our hearts with fear, but with excited anticipation that we are indeed the generation that will see the Lord’s coming in power and glory.”

-Jim Bakker in “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse”

Officials in Cuba have confirmed three deaths and over 50 people are infected with a breakout of cholera.

The outbreak of cholera in Manzanillo has been traced to a series of wells that have been closed by the government. Communist Party newspaper Granma reported the health ministry is dismissing reports of a lack of medicine to help the victims.

Around 1,000 people have received medical attention due to the outbreak. Officials blamed a recent bought of heavy rain and excessive heat for leading to the outbreak.

The health ministry reported the current outbreak as the first in Cuba since the 1959 revolution. They stated the last cholera epidemic in the nation was 1882.

Health officials reportedly are hiding the nature of the outbreak from residents. A BBC correspondent in Cuba spoke to a homeowner who said radio stations had been warning about an outbreak of diarrhea without any mention of cholera.
