...days when cholera was fatal in 50% of cases or more have long passed. (Before 1930, for example, cholera epidemics in India regularly took more than 300,000 lives a year.)

They can prescribe antibiotics, especially tetracycline, which may shorten the duration of the diarrhea. The dehydration can also be reversed, and the patient rehydrated, with a simple solution containing common salt, baking soda, potassium chloride and glucose...

Then, the junior signal-caller dropped back to pass and suddenly had UMass's whole defensive line clawing at him. He coughed up the ball, the Minutemen recovered, and it was time to start thinking about next week...
