We know what causes cholera. We know how it spreads. Supportive therapy can reduce death rates to almost zero. We have an effective vaccine. We know that adequate water and sanitation virtually eliminates the disease. SO WHY IS ANYONE DYING? (2/4) 
Its about access. #OralCholeraVaccine supplies are limited (<50 million courses for 100s of millions at risk). Life saving therapies may not be available when outbreaks occur, doctors and patients may not know how best to use them. Infrastructure projects are expensive. (3/4)
