“Progressive” Democrats have successfully turned a figurative septic tank into a literal one—the open sewage system that is left-controlled Portland is currently “grappling with” a “highly infectious illness that spreads through fecal matter” and if that isn’t the very definition of poetic irony, then I don’t know what is. Here’s the lede from a Fox News item published today:
Portland, Oregon, is grappling with a cluster of a highly infectious illness that spreads through fecal matter and puts the city’s large homeless population at high risk, according to health officials.
The “waste-borne illness” known as shigellosis is caused by the Shigella strain of bacteria, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that symptoms include “bloody or prolonged” diarrhea, and “feeling the need to pass stool (poop) even when the bowels are empty.” As Fox also reported, cases are “skyrocketing” across the area:
The data provided by Multnomah County shows that Shigella cases have increased in recent years, skyrocketing in 2023 by 131% compared to 2021 in counties surrounding Portland.
As one might guess, the population defecating in the streets and living by the thousands in tents and under bridges without running water, and engaging in prostitution and anal sex, is at a significantly higher risk than the average Portlander; also via Fox News:
Homeless individuals in Portland have accounted for a large portion of those infected, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported last month, with health leaders finding that sex was likely the most common way the bacteria was spreading.
(I highlight the homosexual prostitution aspect because after spending two years volunteering with an organization that sought to alleviate the social isolation experienced by Portland’s homeless population, this is an undeniable reality.)

I can see that happening in Portland.
What, letting vagrants crap on the sidewalks might have adverse health consequences? Who knew?
Shigella? Really? Are we dealing with Victorian era street urchins?
Not a shocker. GROSS
Communism has consequences.
Nothing worse than diarrhea rocketing into the sky.
They don’t suppose letting people poop in the streets could be contributing to that as well, do you?
Nah, what the heck good is all that white supremacist water treatment plants doing?
Stand back!!! explosion of a ‘highly infectious illness that spreads through fecal matter’
Health departments have been dealing with Shigella for many years. Spreads among kids fast.
Portland is a sh_thole and once this stuff gets out it spreads.
This isn’t a new disease by and means.
They are a bunch of scheisse eating democrats in Oregasm.
