Cholera stats: 6,800+ reported deaths so far this year, with over 32 countries affected 
(Source: WHO) Cholera has resurfaced with alarming frequency, and it's not just a medical issue – it's a poverty and inequality problem
. The last outbreak in the US was in 1911, but today's outbreaks are more severe due to climate change and conflict 
.Vaccination stats: Only 1 manufacturer produces cholera vaccines at scale, and demand is outpacing supply
(Source: WHO). Africa needs more vaccine production facilities, like Zambia's new partnership with China 
Africa is the hotspot for cholera outbreaks, but it's not just a geographical issue – poverty, displacement, and climate change are all contributing factors
.The Global Task Force on Cholera Control has over 50 partners, but more funding and support are needed to make a real difference
(Source: WHO).Time is of the essence! We need bold political decisions to stop cholera for good
. Governments must prioritize investing in safe drinking water and sanitation – it's not just a medical solution, it's an economic one 
. Cholera can be stopped, but we need collective action and leadership from governments worldwide 
. Remember those outbreaks back in the day? It seems like just yesterday we were hearing about the last major one in Britain, and now we're seeing more frequent outbreaks all over the world. It's heartbreaking to think that despite having all these advancements, poverty and conflict are still driving this disease. Can't we learn from history here? The fact that Africa is the hotspot is especially worrying... it feels like we're repeating some of the same mistakes. A continental emergency response plan is a good start, but what really needs to change is how our governments prioritize investing in safe drinking water and sanitation. We can't keep relying on vaccines as the sole solution; we need systemic changes if we want to eradicate cholera for good 
, time 4 govts 2 step up sanitation & water 
, not vaccines alone!
