2020 advent of mass wild swimming in contaminated waters & Covid effect? 🤔

defeline.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wow.

Fecal-oral... is it the privatised drinking (or not) water?

sirmasksalot.bsky.social•91 days ago

Some of it is certainly poorly maintained infrastructure...

I wonder how this tallies with Scotland, where the water company is still in public hands....

But is it more cases (drinking water unsafe, or raw milk fad), or are more people getting sicker and being diagnosed (weaker immune systems)? Or a combination?

sirmasksalot.bsky.social•91 days ago

Raw milk is actually a great call... that is quite a likely contender, at a guess.

I agree with all you suggest, plus petting farms, milk vending machines on farms with pasteurised milk but poor hygiene,. and swimming pools.

"Countries with poor sanitation"

sirmasksalot.bsky.social•91 days ago

Water companies failing to invest in infrastructure, at a guess. Although crypto *is* difficult to remove from water too due to its oocysts being resistant to chlorine treatment.

Oh gee, yet another infection that takes advantage of a weakened immune system....wonder what that could be about. 😫
