When I was living in Sri Lanka during Covid, I remember people didn't want to eat fish, because Indians often put dead bodies into rivers, which end up in the Bay of Bengal near Sri Lanka and into the bellies of fish.

In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

A quotation from Gracian

Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.
 
[Nunca se le ha de abrir la puerta al menor mal, que siempre vendrán tras él otros muchos, y mayores, en celada.]

Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 31 (1647) [tr. Jacobs (1892)

Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

Do managers want:

Only ONE person this week out sick?
Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.
