    I mean Cholera is kind of not the issue here. This creek has habitually tested high for e coli. An e coli infection makes cholera seem tame. You treat cholera it’s got a mortality rate of less than 1%… E coli infection has a mortality rate around 17% slightly less than one in five people who get hit die from renal failure. Those odds go up significantly for kids…

    This idiot brought his grandkids to splash in this e coli laced stream. I am without words.

      The parents trust this man. The poor kids.

      Though, knowing all things, they’re all vaccinated and use modern medicine well.

        Probably not vaccinated for e coli. There’s very few options and most only work very short term. This smacks of reckless child endangerment.
