Comment on Percentage of sewage being released to the Environment without treatment

Seems like going to India is a health hazard.
Most third world countries have rivers of plastic and all manner of garbage flowing right through densely populated places. India’s rivers are foaming from sewage they are so bad.
And because the education level is so low, the citizens just frolic in it thinking it’s safe, or worse.
No, It’s not because education level is low but the politicians are interested in Brain washing people instead of actually doing something for them.
Plague Inc knew what’s been going on
Maybe not for them, technically they have adapted and overcome. They might even be thriving despite of it…

makes me rethink the common idea that the reason people get sick when travelling is due to not being used to the different bacteria in the water/food
yeah no if this is true it’s just that we’re not used to there BEING bacteria in the water

I once saw a man in Delhi with a literal cloud of flies permanently stationed above his head. I thought that was just a cartoon trope but I realised then that it was an actual thing.

There’s bacteria everywhere in the West too, and people who move out of the tropics tend to have a lot of respiratory issues.
