Previous attempts to control rats and feral cats as vectors has been unsuccessful.
Typhus infection has now spread from downtown and into the suburbs.
Oh great. Now guess who all’s going to be showing up at all the ERs with symptoms.
When it hits the gated communities of liberal ‘elites’ the CDC might take action... and I stress ‘might’.
Typhus? Where did that come from? I guess spreading by illegals, homeless and filth in general, thus increasing rat population. I did not know that cats could be vectors. Different species host different kinds of fleas. Fleas that live on rats cannot live on cats. Maybe cat fleas can also carry typhus.
this is basic public health.
They claim they can’t remove the rats and cats? have they tried rat poison and traps? but there are reports of garbage in the street, and the garbage is feeding the rats, so who is removing that?
and the US Army stopped typhus in Naples during World War II by spraying everyone and everything with DDT... and it worked. But I suspect the “greens” would go hysterical if someone tried that.
