Re: Filthy Cities

The story about the toilet overhanging the street made me wince - unbelievable that people chose to stay there. Poo and plague isn't my idea of fun.

Tenuous link: I caught a program a day or so later about an American couple who caught Bubonic Plague from hiking in the mountains (somewhere in USA). Rats in that region are carriers even today. After some antibiotics the woman recovered pretty quickly, the man was in a coma for three months and had his feet amputated. Makes you think.
