For majroj, she wrote about it all falling apart.
Mexico is falling apart, did you read the story that I posted....Central America, too. Our dearest and closest neighbors, will soon be sharing their new violence.

Disease outbreaks are one of the signs of a broken civilization.
Distribution of goods and services fails, causes concentrations of people to begin dying or spreading out. Quasi governments may step in to try to stop this, bt when civil engineering breaks down (roads, sewers, water supply and etc) then people start dying. You want to empty a city? Don't carpet bomb it, blow up the sewage pumps, waterworks, utilities and railroads, then keep them blown up.
We met a white Rhodesian agronomist in 1985. He predicted this. We hope he and his family got out before the hatch fell shut.

Re: Zimbabwe's cholera
Oh, and elinjo, thanks for bringing up Zimbabwe's past as many younger people don't even know about it anymore. And thanks for reading me and commenting on my writing.

Re: Zimbabwe's cholera
Of course, elinjo, but we only hear about it because it WAS once Rhodesia and prospering under white rule....if it had always been black and poor, we could still care less.
All land was stolen and then destroyed by ignorance and idiocy.
But, other worse things are happening elsewhere and are so very rarely written about nor mentioned. Few people died in Gaza, that horrible fiasco of the past weeks and we heard more about that than when millions die in Africa in some longer and worse one.
Inequities abound. Color makes the difference, still.

Zimbabwe's cholera
Where I live (Denmark) there has been a lot of press coverage about the cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe, not just because it is a serious health issue, but also because it is yet another symptom of the social, political and economic catastrophe in that once relatively prosperous country.
