Difficulty driving car thru floods should be least of our worries

While some Manila residents whine about their troubles driving through Manila's perennially flooded streets, there seems to be a lack of appreciation for what it is exactly these floods bring to our doorstep. Considering that Manila is by all practical purposes one big open sewer - even in good weather - one can only imagine the sorts of stuff flood waters routinely deposit into Manila's surfaces. These, in times of fine weather, dry up and get whipped up into dust which gets mixed into the air. In short, Manila residents routinely inhale shit.
