More dysentery also… like a LOT more dysentery. So much so that people often believed their soul exists in their lower abdomen because when you feel pain there you die shortly after.
Wow that’s a lot of dysentery.
Sorry your point lacks proper context based on reality.
That’s really a western Europe thing and American thing. Even then no where near as much as you’re suggesting, not for the last 10k years or so at least. Beer/wine taking over and replacing water drinking unironically eliminated most of that, and in other cultures sanitation prevented it. English serfs had a lot of dysentery though, since they were too stupid to use Roman infrastructure.
“Oh, you’re mad that you have to work 12/7 to stay alive? Well, have you considered that peasants didn’t have good healthcare?!? Hah, I bet you didn’t… Wait, you can’t afford healthcare either?..well, you’ll suffer and die from a modern illness rather than shitting yourself so you still aren’t allowed to complain! It’s all perfect now!”

Well we could argue your whole comment lacks connection to the original post
So you’re not really a serf if you’ve got plumbing? The labor relationship with your employers isn’t the issue?
