Since Covid-19 engulfed the world two years ago, "unprecedented" has become something of a buzzword.

Despite their apparent differences, COVID-19 and cholera have much in common, which explains why measures to limit the former, such as decreased travel and increased attention to personal hygiene, brought about a decline in the latter. It also explains why, as pandemic restrictions are lifted, cholera is returning with a vengeance.
