A river of the Ganges has left Indians suffering from cholera.
As an acute intestinal infectious disease, cholera has many ways of infection and transmission, the most important of which is water.
In the Ganges Delta of India, known as the "land of cholera for mankind", India has a record of cholera more than a thousand years ago, and it has been going on for more than a thousand years.
The main reason is the Ganges, which Hindus call the Holy River, and the ashes of man are to be sprinkled into it, but every year they have to go down to bathe the flesh and the soul.
Such sanitary conditions allow Vibrio cholerae to multiply freely, and they can't stop when they want to stop.
Another habit of Hindus is to drink directly raw water from the Ganges.
Because of this, the local cholera is like an unkillable little strong, and the Indians pay a heavy price for it.
In 1781, cholera broke out in the Ganjam region of India, and within a month, more than 30,000 of the local population of less than 190,000 had died.
In 1783, cholera broke out in Hridwar, India, and in just 8 days, more than 20,000 pilgrims to the "holy city" died at the hands of cholera.
Whether it is the local cholera in India before the 19th century, or the seven global "cholera epidemics" that spread after the 19th century, India is always the most miserable one.
According to incomplete statistics, since the outbreak of the first "cholera pandemic" in 1817, in just 160 years, the number of people who died of cholera in India has exceeded 60 million.
No way, who made the Ganges so transcendent.
Perhaps for Hindus, it is not a matter of throwing their lives to cholera and new crown, and not being able to drink a sip of fresh Ganges water is the biggest regret in life.
