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.
