Sometimes Earplugs Aren't Enough
 
When I was living on the ‘frontline’ of Brixton, South London — the frontline was Cold Harbour Lane, a multicultural mecca for illicit substance dealers, dance clubs, pubs and food markets — thousands of people passed under my balcony window daily: and the noise didn't stop.

According to the most recent reports, more than 2,600 have died and at least 120,000 more are infected. Although health officials think the number of new cases will likely peak in the next few months, it could be years before cholera is completely eradicated. It's estimated another 600,000 people could be affected before that happens.
