TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
According to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the number of cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis reported in the United States reached all-time highs in 2016.
In the U.S., there were 1.6 million cases of chlamydia and 470,000 cases of gonorrhea last year.
“Increases in STDs are a clear warning of a growing threat,” said Jonathan Mermin, M.D., M.P.H., director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. “STDs are a persistent enemy, growing in number, and outpacing our ability to respond.”
The increase has been seen in all genders and sexual orientations.
I’m thinking it may follow racial lines.
There are a couple anomalies but for the most part.
My kids live in NH and ME and I’ve noticed a real dearth of people of color in those states, including VT.
Just saying.......

Lol, why am I on the venereal disease ping list??? ;)
Actually, it is the infectious disease ping which encompasses viral, bacterial, and other communicable diseases.
The notification sent is not a reflection on your character, but rather your desire to be kept informed.
AntiFa is a communicable disease, but it is not covered on this specific ping list .
Thank you for your inquiry, and your participation.
New England is doing fairly well, thank goodness.
Thanks, TIK.
