The living environment in India is very poor, but why has there never been a fatal infectious disease?

That was not the case. India's sanitary environment is very chaotic, with garbage and sewage everywhere, animals walking all over the street and people everywhere. But environmental sanitation will cause health problems, and most of them are intestinal infections. The spread of infectious diseases requires certain conditions. The biggest hidden danger of environmental conditions in India is the problem of toilets and drinking water, and diseases transmitted through feces are easy to be recruited.

India's convenient transportation, coupled with climate and population factors, not only participated in the global plague, but also spread cholera in the19th century. Smallpox was in India 1500 years ago, but because of some wrong customs, they chose to believe in the goddess of smallpox, and they resigned themselves to smallpox. Smallpox has been eradicated in other countries, while India killed 25,000 Indians in 1974 because of smallpox.

In addition, India has hot weather, high temperature and many mosquitoes. According to statistics, during the British rule in India, 2 million people died of malaria every year. Isn't this epidemic serious enough? Although there has been no coronavirus like the recent outbreak in our country in recent years, the sanitation in India is particularly poor, so we can't think that India is a good place and there is no epidemic. This is a wrong idea.

Finally, don't envy India, because our country has done a good job in medical and health care and protective measures are in place. We must believe that our country is still quite good. After all, there is no war and no civil unrest. Isn't this a bad life?

It must be remembered that we must always pay attention to the basic situation of the country, and we should also pay attention to protecting ourselves and our families in this special period to avoid being infected by the virus and causing unnecessary harm. Be sure to stay at home more recently and don't go out to visit relatives.
