I think it was a matter of time before the Cholera outbreak that in Haiti reaches the Dominican Republic.

Hello Roland!
Yes! The Government of the Dominican Republic should have started taking precautions long before this.

I suggest making strong-pleas to "ALL COUNTRIES", to join-in on fighting this deadly-desease.
