That’s a reasonably strong theory with one exception. Why is it that only the Americans are becoming acutely ill and dying at these hotels? Brits & other Euros vacation in DR as well.
Ah. I didn’t see your post there...I thought the same thing.
I read an article yesterday about an Italian man who was the 27th tourist to die in the DR in the recent spate of deaths. The causes of death for all 27 were not detailed, and some are definitely not poisoning cases (the Italian was beaten to death with a pipe). But I think US media is focusing only on the Americans — there are likely more victims.
