Could someone write with more attention to the ~5,000 casualties of the construction rather than praising the health care, which primarily benefited white people? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:7497:D401:81BF:DA7:F888:E2F1 (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Link to Colon edit

  • Could someone fix the internal link to Colon in "Gorgas divided Panama into 11 districts, and Colon into four", please?
In Colón we have:
Colón, Panama
Colón Province
and I'm not sure. Thank you very much, Gennaro Prota 17:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Black workers lived outside edit

The article says that part of the program was to have workers sleep in screened quarters to avoid Malaria, and that anyone infected was quarantined. And then at the end it says that the Black workers lived outside the main areas in unscreened accomodation. Which is it? I suspect the former with some Woke additions at the end.
