“...acquired it while traveling internationally.”

In other words, a turd-world alien. Probably here illegally.

One can buy antibiotics over the counter for pennies in Mexico.Easy to imagine all sorts of drug resistant bugs there and now they've arrived in northern Baja California.

It causes people to act deranged and have no sense of decorum or judgment. A large concentration was detected at the SAG awards, and officials fear another outbreak at the Oscars.

Anyone wonder how many diseases have been brought into this country thanks to Zero and his RAT cohorts in Congress and elsewhere?

Not only have I wondered about what new diseases the illegals and refugees have brought us, I’ve noticed a reappearance of diseases we thought we’d eradicated.

Whooping cough, now euphemistically referred to as pertussis is back, TB and polio have returned.

So glad we left California in 2015 for a Red State.

The vermin let into this country by Zero and his Liberal cohorts are all over this nation!! Their diseases, likewise, are infecting the entire nation. And, I might add, the good doctors left the profession when the RATs gave us their DeathCare!

Or maybe you allow so many illegals inside the state and they bring all the nasty stuff with them!

You’re right, of course. Obama found so many ways to kill us.

Because the victim most likely got it from an international “guest”.
