Approach to cholera by world governments as if it was COVID: we are working on new vaccines and treatments, please continue to drink the sewage. If you die from cholera we will record it as death by misadventure. Cholera symptoms are mild. Anyone found trying to clean the water before drinking it will be arrested for creating a panic. Everything is fine. It’s seasonal now.
@andymoose Cholera is not waterborne. It is only transmitted in droplets.
@aburka cholera can’t go around corners. Oh that one is probably true. Nm.
@andymoose Cholera used to be called "Summer Complaint" in the U.S. You see it on death records from the mid-19th century.
