Exactly a year ago today, Debi Evans warned in her blog (Debi Evans Blog: 6 June 2023):
"Are we to expect multiple ‘epidemics’ in different countries; a simultaneous health ‘polycrisis’, perhaps? Could this be a warning of what is to come? If so, it could be that some parts of Western Europe, including the UK, could be about to see a rise in E. coli and cryptosporidosis, which also involves contaminated water and poorly tummies."
Parts of South West Water are still on boil first notices, saying they are still flushing the water systems of cryptosporidium.

For many months Debi has been warning of antimicrobial resistance, where they will say that antibiotics no longer work and that because of a super bug we're all going to need super antibiotics or mRNA vaccines against antimicrobial resistance.
