Op-Ed: Puerto Rico disaster shows US could learn from China about how to deal with natural disasters

[jhungary]

Lol the alt-righters, both online and the ones in real life are pathological liars.. no one believe your dad is a facking puerto rican resident or you speak spanish. you pretend your chinese too with your shitty 5th grade level mandarin from google translate. lets just be real here, your a white dude who live in bumfack nowhere who pretend to be things he's not.

While I did had some respect for you before, and basically you lost it all in this thread. I think only low life scum would try to score brownie point when people are dying left and right, this is possibly the lowest of low scum there are. And you now have fallen into this category.

I don't really give a flying fu.k about what you believe, I don't exist here to make you believe who I am, I don't really care about you that much, point is, you have jack shit knowledge about disaster relief and you start talking shit about this. And you now try to cover this point by saying I am not whoever. And oh by the way, I speak Cantonese, and yes, my Mandarin is only 5th Grade level.

I can mumble on about a lot of thing and did not touch any point at all, that's called Bullshitting, everybody can do that, but then it won't make you smarter, instead, it will make you look dumber in front of other people.

No Soy Hispanico? Ay Bendido, que mierda del toro, si no que dice ninguna en espanol.

Yes, far right are liar, and you, are a far-righter for China, so, by your own definition, you. yourself, is a liar.

But the sociopaths won't understand that simple logic as their livelihood depends on destruction and misery of others as can be seen in this and any other thread that puts their paymaster in a bad light. They would, without shame, justify any barbarity and monstrosity human can ever think of.

But two Vietnamese refugees will disagree with you. Agent orange fucked them up. Now these two cut n paste professionals are this forum's guru of BS takn as the gospel of truth to keep low IQ people complacent.

His lies are too obvious

But it's affective against 82.

Are you speaking of China and the Chinese members here ? Sounds like it.

"Being able to share ideas during the command post exchange and see my Soldiers demonstrate some of their skills and equipment capabilities during the practical field exchange were invaluable experiences," said Col. Danielle Ngo, Commander of the 130th Engineer Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command.

Dialysis Patients in Puerto Rico Face Death as Hospital Generators Run Dry

In the aftermath of Category 4 Hurricane Maria, which devastated the island of Puerto Rico and knocked out all electricity in the US territory, thousands of people with kidney disease are now at risk of death.

With hospitals running on generators that are low on diesel fuel, the approximately 5,000 people in Puerto Rico that suffer from kidney disease are in critical need of dialysis, a machine process that removes toxins from the blood when the kidneys have lost their ability to perform such functions themselves. Without dialysis multiple times a week for several hours at a time, patients with kidney disease could die.

Many dialysis patients in Puerto Rico have no means of getting to hospitals or dialysis centers because they're short on fuel for their cars. In addition, trucks carrying fuel are having difficulty getting to hospitals.

"If these dialysis patients go another few days, a week, without treatment, the sad news is they likely will die," Vice President of Patient Services with the American Kidney Fund Mike Spigler said, ABC7 reported.

"The sense of panic in their voices, of trying to get these patients off the island — it's heart-wrenching," he added.

So far, three people in Puerto Rico have died from lack of access to dialysis and that number may increase if dialysis centers and hospitals run out of fuel.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), more than half of the dialysis centers in Puerto Rico are now functioning and the agency is helping evacuate people to the continental US so that they can receive necessary dialysis treatment.

Kidney disease is not the only illness posing a far greater threat than normal to Puerto Ricans as a consequence of conditions on the ground.

In a blog post, Dr. Peter Hotez, a disease expert at Baylor University, explained that because 60 percent of the Puerto Rican population currently does not have access to clean water, the island could potentially face a cholera outbreak, a bacterial disease spread in water that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration, and sometimes death in only a couple of hours.

"These factors — the presence of the V. cholerae bacterium, poverty, collapsed infrastructure and lack of potable water access — create a toxic mix that could promote cholera outbreaks in Puerto Rico during the coming days and weeks," Hotez wrote.
