India is a 3rd-world country with many people living in unsanitary and crowded
conditions. It is reasonable to conclude that is a contributing factor.

It's a reasonable guess but it's a guess. I think you've read nonthing
about the actual facts of India, or you'd be able to do more than guess.
Things were going well there until they had some religious event at the
Ganges river that drew millions.

Much like the death rallies that trump held.

It appears that you are holding yourself out as a doctor and giving out medical
advice.

And what did you just do? If he's holding himself out than so are you,
and he at least used facts instead of guessing.

When you make stupid statements you lose. Taking precautions is not
medical advice it is common sense. Washing your hands is at the same
level as looking before crossing the street.

When Roger was growing up, "Wash your hands" was the most medical advice
he got.
