Interesting. I always thought from my history lessons that cholera takes
no
account of social or economic backgrounds. The "proof" for this was that
in
the last great epidemics in London, both poor and wealthy areas were
equally
affected or spared, the differenciator being where their water supply (and
therefore infection or not) came from.

Quite. But the cholera has to be put into the water supply before it can
come out.
