As if Pakistan's 2022 floods weren’t enough of a disaster, now health experts are waving red flags over a skyrocketing cholera crisis. Monsoon madness displaced millions, turning cities into soggy water parks, except without snacks or fun. Hospitals are bursting at the seams, apparently operating like a sitcom set where drills meet flush — and not the good kind. With stagnant, bacteria-infested waters making the rounds, cholera, that ancient party crasher, has RSVP’d grandly. Experts lament that healthcare is 'strained'—code for everyone’s running on duct tape and prayers while the pathogens throw a rager. Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where Pakistan also invited cholera to this flood fiesta?
