I think you got some your dates wrong as you mentioned multiple times in your images (not verbally) that the second pandemic happened in 1932 instead of 1832. Can you correct this if I’m right as it is VERY confusing for someone watching...
One problem for cholera victims was that doctors tried treating the symptoms incorrectly; since the patient was expelling large amounts of fluid, it was believed the patient had too much water in their body, so the treatment was to withhold water.
I got a double whammy of cholera and typhoid in India in 1992. Nearly killed me! 3 weeks in hospital with A drip in each arm. Lost half my body weight, in an afternoon! I’m 193 cm and I only weighed 52 kilos after the disease had run its course. I got it from eating some seafood…. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! Edit: I can attest to the projectile vomiting and diarrhoea lol. I can only describe as suddenly realising that humans are basically just a bag of water and that the hand of an invisible giant is violently squeezing it out of you.
Man..Im glad you survived all that. You must have been really healthy before. I know its not the same but in less than 3 years Ive been in septic shock twice.. both from kidney infection. The last time was in January and was in a coma for a week. Woke missing half a kidney. I was already thin then I lost muscle mass as well. After you live through an illness like that.. i don't know if you fully recover. This past Monday I was cleared to drive and have sex again. Still in physical therapist but I am slowly making progress. I pray you continue to improve with your health. Hope all is well 😁

I remember doing a family history assignment in primary school and considering we only have 4 generations in the last 100 years we got back pretty quickly to the "so and so had 9 children 2 died of cholera 1 of Tb and so many died of typhoid etc etc in the end only 3 survived" 😬 crazy how many didn't make it, I definitely think we take that for granted today.
Similar. My grandma had 6 siblings, 4 of them died (in 1930s and 1940s) from tb and polio before they were 3 years old. Twins died when they were like 5 months old.
If people in countries such as India and the US keep being so irresponsible with antibiotics it's only a matter of time until bacterial diseases we considered a thing of the past become large scale killers again. And it doesn't exactly help that the wolves that are the pharmaceutical companies only care for maximum profits, antibiotics are generally only taken for 2 weeks or so and hence not considered profitable enough for them in comparison to antidepressants, cancer medicine and other drugs you generally take for years. Because as a result of that there is pretty much zero research being done towards the development of new antibiotics, almost all the currently existing antibiotics are from the 50's and 60's.
I can’t believe it’s a 190 years later and nothing has changed in terms of human behaviour! “The more things change, the more they stay the same” 🤦🏻♀️
To be fair, over half of Americans were willing to get vaccinated with new vaccines. But… yeah, really hope we at least figured out to stockpile PPE… because the next pandemic is coming, we just can’t be sure what it will be…
You should also do a show on Pellagra, which doctors got entirely wrong -- it wasn't a disease, it was a dietary deficiency among the poor of the US South. And it took a pioneering doctor to prove them wrong.
Honestly you could do a whole channel of biography of diseases. There’s over 40 genuses in the Enterobacteriaceae family, many of whom cause disease, some severe.
I was born in Argentina, and I remember at some point in the 90s, an outbreak of cholera at least in Argentina, south of Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile...

There was cholera outbreaks in Papua New Guinea, during the few years that we lived there from 2008. Flash floods would destroy villages and contaminate water sources and crops. A lot of preventable diseases exist in these countries which are rich in resources but due to corruption the general population is dirt poor, which is why I always associate the anti vax mentality as a sign of privilege ....amongst other things 😉
Yeah. Even with non COVID vaccines, seeing priveledged American parents refuse vaccines for their kids that parents accross the world would kill for access to is truly surreal
A fact that might be interesting is that due to how affected Mexico was by cholera in the mid 1900's our social security system implemented giving oral solution for free to anyone that would have a visit to the doctor for any reason and especially if it involved children, as a result (and aiding to the fact that we often get heatwaves) we have developed a habit of sorts of drinking oral solution instead of just water or sports drinks during the warmer months, we even have several brands a awide variety of flavors that you can buy for cheap at any pharmacy or chain corner store

I had something - in a Caribbean country about 7 years ago... I was very sick and they don't have good running water there... but they wash their vegetables and cook with bad tap water.. Sometimes they make ice with it. God intervened... a bottle of 7-up probably saved my life.
In my US town about 7 years ago a neighborhood had to be hooked up to city water and sewer. The people were pissed, but the city responded with: A) this should have been done years ago and B) your pipes are all rusted You can't always fix stupid, but sometimes laws help prevent it in future generations.
In Swedish we have an expression: "Det är som att välja mellan pest och kolera!" which means "It's like choosing between the plague and cholera". I still don't see that as fair to the later one, since the plague is/was much deadlier. Still, cholera is a really awful disease. Wouldn't want to get it - I've gotten so many stomach flus throughout the years, so I can just imagine how truly awful it would be to get this disease.
@@Elora445 I did some digging german news magazine Spiegel attributes it to Pierre Poujade, a french politician who made a statement regarding having to choose between "plague and cholera" but that was in 1965? So rather european maybe?

I fear the Indigenous communities of Canada will be hit with cholera if the govt doesn’t prioritize giving them clean drinking water. Like Simon said, there is no good reason for cholera outbreaks to occur in this day and age. Great video. Well done everyone 👏
Its an issue for the southern tribes too. Its the 21st century, and our peoples are still being treated pretty much the same as in the 19th. Now the white man eases his conscious with "at least they have casinos", which creates another epidemic. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been talking about Native issues, and some idiot pops up with that, or "its their own fault"...
There's this excerpt from a book on the history of the fishing village my mom's side of the family comes from that I'd like to share: It's told of two young people from Råå who visited Malmö at the time during which the epidemic was at its worst. One of the two young men was careless enough, or rather unwise enough, to visit an acquainted family that had been afflicted by the ailment. At the time he showed up, one family member had even passed away. This didn't deter the youngling however, who stayed at the farm for a couple of hours and didn't even think twice about touching the corpse. When he later returned to Råå, he bragged heavily about his courage and declared "I am living proof that cholera is not communicable". The following day he was the first person in Råå to fall ill and the day following that, he died.
was I was very little (toddler?) I was ill with Cholera on Holiday, only reason I survived was my mum spent the entire night none stop tea spooning me rehydration solution (sugar, salt and clean water).
I would love for you to do a video on Nestor Mankho as he is one of the most intresting players in the Russian civil war. Most people don't know about him because he was an anarchist who lost the war obviously but his anarchist military state is one of the few places in history where anarchism was adopted for a brief period of time. Also the area where his group formed is now where Ukraine is fighting separatists movement.

Its an issue for the southern tribes too. Its the 21st century, and our peoples are still being treated pretty much the same as in the 19th. Now the white man eases his conscious with "at least they have casinos", which creates another epidemic. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been talking about Native issues, and some idiot pops up with that, or "its their own fault"...
I were thinking their water supply was more pure than ours, i realised i dont know about how they treat bad water
@@michellemire8462 it's almost like we have taken their land and polluted their resources or something
That was one of your best. Good job Simon and all the crew.
Who is this video's editor? The stuff he added kept on cracking me. Hahahaha.
I came here exactly to say this!
Damn bro bringing it home with some heartfelt heavy hitters at the end there
How ironic that I'm watching this while taking a poo. Not gonna drink it though, thanks Simon 👍
In Sweden we have a saying if we are presented with two bad choices. "It's like choosing between the plague and cholera"
Tchaikovsky decided to play "chicken" with cholera and drank some unboiled water.
Cholera won.
There's this excerpt from a book on the history of the fishing village my mom's side of the family comes from that I'd like to share:
It's told of two young people from Råå who visited Malmö at the time during which the epidemic was at its worst. One of the two young men was careless enough, or rather unwise enough, to visit an acquainted family that had been afflicted by the ailment. At the time he showed up, one family member had even passed away. This didn't deter the youngling however, who stayed at the farm for a couple of hours and didn't even think twice about touching the corpse. When he later returned to Råå, he bragged heavily about his courage and declared "I am living proof that cholera is not communicable". The following day he was the first person in Råå to fall ill and the day following that, he died.
Please do Woodrow Wilson or Philippe Pétain for your next historical figure.
was I was very little (toddler?) I was ill with Cholera on Holiday, only reason I survived was my mum spent the entire night none stop tea spooning me rehydration solution (sugar, salt and clean water).
Well Simon, you have showed us how we are supposed to poop squatted.
That was already shown to us with the squatty potty
Even if he didn't know he was spreading cholera why the hell would he dump gallons of human waste into the town's main water source
Next biographics episode: Simon's Beard
Love your content Simon!
I’d be really interested in a video like this but about yellow fever.
Just love a video with a two and a half minutes long commercial at the beginning
You know you can just skip it right???
I would love for you to do a video on Nestor Mankho as he is one of the most intresting players in the Russian civil war. Most people don't know about him because he was an anarchist who lost the war obviously but his anarchist military state is one of the few places in history where anarchism was adopted for a brief period of time. Also the area where his group formed is now where Ukraine is fighting separatists movement.
I love Simon and his many channels, but damn, this man could sell water to fish. 🎣
14:48 1832*
And again at 15:02 😉
and also 12:20
and now you know where the "don't drink the water" warnings of visiting mexico come from
You could start a fitness channel! BiograFITs! Hyuck!
Thank You For This BioG. Answered many questions I had concerning Cholera. Keep Up The Good Work Simon.
Am I the only one who noticed that the year was stated as 1932 instead of 1832 in many instances?
Yeah, QA missed the mark a few times in this one
No.
No. Just look at the other 3 million other people who also thought they spotted it and decided to comment about it
"like a blind man in an orgy". The imagery has me dying laughing. Thank you, Simon.
I can see the Blaze is bleeding over into Simon's other channels, allegedly.
I'd love to try athletics green, have heard many good things about it. But sadly they don't ship to Svalbard or Norway, due to Norways weird import laws for food supplements
