Cholera Epidemic Infects Thousands in Kenya

I was very suprised to see the word cholera in this article. I thought that cholera would not be connected to this century, but the truth is the opposite! A cholera epidemic is sweeping across Kenya, with 4,700 cases reported in the past month and 119 deaths in what Kenyan officials are calling "one of the worst outbreaks in a decade." Health workers say that cholera is spreading rapidly in northern Kenya in part because many people there are nomadic. Animals that have recently died from hunger and thirst have also become fly-infested breeding grounds for other killer germs. This is very scary news and I feel deeply sorry for people who are exposed to such an epidemic.
