Since the struggle for water and sewage has begun, experts have talked about how it has been a good idea to let the people give up their right to water, and pay for it because service would improve, having a positive effect on the way of life. Since they have been saying this, the people of Asuncion have been opposed to the idea. From our previous posts, and media we have put up it is clearly evident that the people of Asuncion have been opposed to big corporations controlling their water. People in the city have taken it upon themselves to put in the time, and learn what exactly is needed to fight these companies. Since they have put in the effort, and have gained knowledge about how to fight big conglomerates, they have not allowed themselves to be dominated, and have brought control of water back to the state.
Experts go both ways, depending on whether or not they are receiving mucho dinero from big companies or not. Some will say that service will be better and cleaner with private companies, while some experts say a private system will hurt more than help. Opinions, even of experts, can be swayed very easily.
Epidemiologically, despite an outbreak of yellow fever, there is not a whole lot of investigations occurring in the area at this particular time. Yellow fever is transferred through mosquitoes, and is a nasty disease.
