Cholera in Casa de Campo

[mountainannie]

but are they saying that the lobster was served as a ceviche? raw?

Fairly stupid to be eating ceviche now.. anywhere

I remember when Peru had an outbreak and the President said,, hey no worries. eat ceviche see I do.

and hundreds more people got sick.

Dominican Today is reporting that the health minister here confirmed the cases as cholera

 

[jrmirador@alumni.iu.edu]

Just want to add that Gustavo Cisneros is not an enemy of Hugo Chavez. Also, Gustavo Cisneros has denied that it was in his villa in CDC where guests got sick with colera.

 

[Hillbilly]

Yes, the Cisneros Group has denied that they had anything at all to do with the wedding or the catering or the reception or anything.....Period.

The Public Health labs confirmed that it was cholera....

[Hillbilly]

About an hour ago, the AP out of Venezuela said that 111 persons are or have been treated with the disease. All attended the wedding.

Let's see how effective the Venezuelan health authorities are at keeping it limited to these few. Be interesting.

Just heard the same on local news radio in California. "The Venezuelans had attended a wedding in the Dominican Republic in a town on the border with Haiti" I didn't know Casa De Campo had moved!

It made it to the Boston Globe as someone from Ma was infected

Had lunch with my in-laws today, and my husband's brother said that he heard that much of the food served was flown in from Venezuela because they were concerned about cholera. Anyone else hear that?

This is just idle speculation, but considering the large proportion of guest who became ill, and knowing that not everyone at a party consumes the same food (not everyone likes lobster), it's possible that the cholera bacteria was in the ice used for drinks and water.

Most food and chef were from venezuela
over 500 invitados from Venezuela
The owner of the Villa from Venezuela.
Who is the f....ing owner of that villa that nobody wants to tell the name.
Casa de campo and the country has a lot of negative publicity around the world that could affect the tourism and a week after nobody want to reveal the name of the family.
It wasnt in Cisneros house, so who is the other billionarire who live here that can invite over 500 venezuelans and be in the anonymity.
where are the papparazzis, photographers, who was getting married?
Now, nobody was in the wedding. and the name of the family is a Top Secret

Im not sure in whose villa the wedding was. But in CDC there are over 1500 villas, and any villa owner can do a wedding at his home and also you can rent a villa to do a wedding, if that's the case should the owner be held responsable for what happens at the activity?. Also, after living in CDC for over a year i can assure you that there wasn't papparazis, photographers or any of the kind, whats the purpose of living in a private area if is not privacy and security.

Also i've heard that the wedding in question had outside catering so CDC should not be blamed for anything that happens regarding that. Bad luck they bought there products from an unreliable source.

Nothing is a secret ,,,the Mendoza family had the wedding and the food and catering was from a company outside Casa de Campo and the source of the infection is thought to have been lobster .The Mendoza family are disliked by Chauvez and he is broke the news of the disaster with some glee.

 

[mountainannie]

The Associated Press: Cholera cases climb to 111 in Venezuela

cases rising in Venezuela

which gives rise to a couple of questions....

first.. the idea that the contamination is from the lobsters from Pedernales.. yet the CDC had said that cooking to a core temp of 70 would kill the virus..

International Notes Update: Cholera Outbreak -- Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia

ok there may have been subsequent contamination by a food handler..

and also there were evidently 37 people who travelled BACK to Venezuela and they have now infected 111... What, no clorox? This seems like a very rapid transmission vector within an affluent community which supposedly has good plumbing and information, no?

Maybe they brought the bacteria in their OWN food from their OWN catering company...who knows! (I am not saying they did it on purpose with some devil motive, but seeing their business is food processing, most likely they brought lots of their own food. Some outside devilish force could have infected that food, for some unknown devilish reason.)

Chavez will stop at nothing to smear Cisneros. Plus all other caribbean basin countries have been itching to snatch away whatever piece of DR's tourism business they can. We have the hotels, infrasctructure, location and human capital to continue as the leading spot for tourism in the Caribbeann.


are you suggesting that this is some conspiracy on the part of "caribbean basin countries" to sabotage the DR tourist industry? first of all, get over these media releases about the DR being the leading spot for tourism in the caribbean. the last reviews that came out recently had Jamaica as the top spot in the area, and not the DR. the DR leads in footfall, with some 4 million last year, to 3 million from Jamaica. but numbers do not tell the story. there are other things to consider, such as length of stay, how much each visitor spends, return rate, customer service, attractions, and all the other aspects which make up the composite picture. the DR is a newcomer to the game. other territories, such as the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands have fine tuned their offerings a long time ago. so, despite the potential that the DR obviously has, it is still in the process of learning the game, and scares no one to the point of sabotage.

It would not only be just, but would bring great peace of mind to all involved, if the Health authorities, even the police, intervened the mentioned "external caterer", its suppliers, and other clients, beside the Mendoza wedding reception at CDC.
