What does that mean? How far from the coast? Mobile, Panama City, Naples, Tampa? Biloxi, Galveston, Corpus Christi?
Or inland? Only part, or all of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida? I'm about 150 miles North of the Gulf. Should I worry?
Inhaled during a storm... sheesh.
The vaccine has destroyed immune systems. I know firsthand. The stage has been set for more national health crises. Guaranteed.
US doctors will just think it is pneumonia.

Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Burkholderia pseudomallei that are commonly found in the soil and water. Melioidosis is a rare disease in the United States, but it is common in tropical or subtropical areas of the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia. The signs and symptoms of the disease can vary greatly and may mimic those of tuberculosis or common forms of pneumonia. Symptoms may include pain or swelling, fever, abscess, cough, high fever, headache, trouble breathing, and more. Although healthy people can also experience symptoms of the disease, people with certain conditions like diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, thalassemia, cancer, or certain autoimmune diseases may be more severely affected. Diagnosis is made by collecting blood, sputum, urine, or pus samples and growing the bacteria.

“Inhaled during a storm... sheesh.”
A storm...caused by global warming...caused by fossil fuels usage. You gotta read between the leftist idiocy lines.
“Something to be aware of, when on the Gulf coast.”
Three cases: Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota
“germ has made its way to the U.S.”
Catholic Church Agencies?

Mayorkas Get Into US Free Card?
You obviously don’t know about the three separate cases in Mississippi, which were listed in this very article.
Try again.
You obviously don’t know about the three cases outside Mississippi, which were not listed in this very article.
Try again.
This would be great if it slows down the freeloaders seeking an asylum to live in in the U.S.
I suspect dirt with the bug gets into storm water and then gets blown around as contaminated spray.
Melioidosis is now considered endemic to the U.S. Gulf Coast and infections may be seen from Texas to Florida, Petras said.
Imagine that.
I wonder how a tropical disease could have gotten in the US........
