Its not an outbreak when 2, 3 or even 10 people are affected. The food may have been cooked using sewage water..however, sanitation in the city is wanting and that, if for no any other reason should be enough to send Kidero home. Health is a devolved function and the city should have health officials inspecting food and eatery places

I no longer take food during those mass gatherings like weddings. I only take a soda or phombe. This is because on some two occasions I had serious stomach problems. The above case may not have been cholera but food poisoning. Most of the food at such events is prepared on the previous day, and may end up being contaminated. Refrigeration of such humongous amounts of food is also difficult thus making it prone to contamination.

So the Ebola in Congo is not an outbreak since only 3 people have so far been affected

How can it be an outbreak yet these people ate from the same sufuria? No one else is reported to be sick.

Cholera Causes

Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium that causes cholera, is usually found in food or water contaminated by feces from a person with the infection.

If relatives infect themselves, can it be considered an outbreak?

Is the caterer licensed? Have they been given a permit to feed you? If someone is serving food to the public it becomes the governments problem. Sijui kama umekutana na muhealth? But ofcourse Nairobians would not know that, these laws are only good on paper...it used to happen in the past

The Nairobi county has activated cholera treatment centres following an outbreak of the disease in the city.

Health executive Bernard Muia and chief officer Sam Ochola yesterday said five cases of the disease have been confirmed.

“Five people are admitted at the Nairobi Hospital and laboratory tests have confirmed that they contracted the disease,” Muia said.

He, however, said the disease “is an imported case” as the five who have been admitted had travelled to the city last weekend from Vihiga to attend a wedding in Karen.

It will be wise to expose this caterer before s/he cooks for another delegation

Which hole have you been living in? Fact is that cholera infected people travelled from vihiga and brought the disease to Nairobi. They must have shaken hands with the other wedding goers. The caterer is not to blame otherwise if the food was contaminated, hundreds or thousands who partook in the feast could be sick (or dead) by now.
