If there’s one small hopeful note in
To the subject of this blog, these include Cuban medical missions with 344 doctors and paramedics that have, according to news reports, set up field hospitals and started attending to victims. Cuban authorities have announced that 30 more doctors, including orthopedists and blood transfusion specialists, are on the way.
All the coverage, so far, is in Spanish; from EFE, AFP, and Radio Havana Cuba.

We in the US send troops, and think we're helping. Cuba always sends the finest doctors in the World. I wonder who is more warmly received?
This world is the way it is because of the ignorance of people like you. If it's great that Cuba is sending doctors, aren't the US Marines setting up the traffic control tower so others can get there. Besides that, with tragedies comes chaos and doctor cannot restore order.
It is great that many nations are rushing aid to Haiti, including the U.S. and Cuba.
Let's hope the Cuban doctors help many victims of the earthquake. But it wouldn't be surprising if some of the Cuban doctors use this opportunity to head for the Dominican border. According to the Medicina Cubana website, about 2,000 Cuban physicians have abandoned their posts abroad to seek refuge in developed nations.
Meanwhile, back in the real Cuba ("the Medical Superpower of the Caribbean")EFE reports that 20 patients at Havana's Mazorra pysch hospital have died this week of exposure.
Let's all pray that Lefty, currently in Havana for one of his electroshock pick-me-up treatments, was not among the victims!
lefty is not human ..he is an avatar . a video loop
EFE reported what Elizardo Sanchez told them (and a "European diplomat" had also heard - 5:1 it was a Czech or Polish "diplomat"). I can hardly believe the number of deaths being talked about.
Irregardless, it's worth pointing out that an old man died in Miami of hypothermia on Monday. 7 have died of the cold in Chicago this year so far - 600 in the US every year.
If anyone died in a State institution (at least they are not out on the street, like our mentally ill) it is a terrible and unacceptable tragedy. Heads should roll.
over 2o cubans are said to have been murdered inside mazorra recently
heads will roll... Thanks god Panfilo is on his way to FL
Can you top that lefty?
