Order Only: Dysentery and Typhoid
Oct. 30th, 2008 11:55 amThe rumours of typhoid in the Epping Forest camp in Essex are just that--rumours only.
The rumours of dysentery in the Tunbridge Wells, Swale and Ashford district camps are unfortunately true. All out-of-camp work assignments there and the adjacent districts have been stopped, in an attempt to keep it from spreading. Thank Merlin at least the harvest is in, so we won't have to deal with food shortages through the winter because the work force has been laid low. Well, worse food shortages than we already have, I mean.
I almost lost it and hexed Griderson when he sneered that of course the damn Muggles were getting sick; what else did you expect from animals that liked to wallow in their own filth? Managed to restrain myself--barely.
These poor people. Make them live in desperate conditions and then blame them for the diseases that arise. What misery they have to go through just to live their daily lives.
