Is deep blue California earning itself a new title of distinction as the nation's pestilence capital?
Starting to look like it, given the latest news of a typhus outbreak among 64 of the homeless in Los Angeles County, according to The Guardian:
Los Angeles officials have pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars and created a dedicated taskforce to fight an outbreak of typhus, as a city of glittering wealth grapples with a disease linked to intense poverty.
"We're deploying every available resource to help control and stop this outbreak," said Alex Comisar, press secretary for Los Angeles's mayor, Eric Garcetti.
Many of those resources have focused on the city's large homeless population, considered most at risk for contracting the flea-borne illness.
The news follows San Diego County's sub-distinction as the nation's hepatitis capital, again a product of its homeless population, killing 20 and infecting 600, which was reported last year here. Apparently there have been more cases since the press claimed they got it all cleaned up here. Here's another news account:
A newly detected hepatitis A case prompted a public warning from the county health department Friday.
Health and Human Services Agency officials recommend vaccination for anyone who lived at the Volunteers of America Renaissance Treatment Center in National City from June 19 through June 21 because a client who was at the facility on those dates recently tested positive for the viral infection that can damage the liver if left untreated.
Then there's San Francisco, a city so covered in the excrement of homelessness it has 16,000 feces-related complaints from the public, complete with suitcases and trash bags full of excrement decorating its city streets, that the city now employs "poop patrols" as its solution to the problem. It has undoubtedly created massive public health problems."

We’ve had hepatitis in San Diego, we have typhus in Los Angeles. Eventually with so many people crapping in the streets of San Francisco we should see something way more serious erupt, like cholera.
The leftwing zealots who are running California are undoing all of the advances that public sanitation has brought to the western world and the unlucky will relearn what happens when you ignore it.
We are going to end up with a quarantine on the whole state.
Progressives bringing back the Dark Ages.
Burning books creates CO2. Defeating the Nazis stopped them from burning more books. QED.
Oops, wrong thread.
We need that “bring out your dead” thingy
Sh##hole has come home to roost where are the a##wipes, so called fake journalists who had a problem with sh##hole
The Democrats have have f**ked up the Golden State from Eureka to San Diego!
San Fransicko is terribly filthy with human feces and urine and drug needles and more
We won’t visit SF again unless there’s some kind of very rare or important reason pulling us in there
It is also dangerous with all the beggars (and they often smell very bad, too)
The more freebies and more $$ Californication gives away, the more of these problems flood in there
Insanity is continuing bad policies after they’ve proven to be harmful, destructive
maybe the inevitable epidemics will break out and, alas, the problem will solve itself
Would The News Misleadia* report it?
*Misleadia. I stole that from Laz, fair and square...
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
THIRD.WORLD.HELLHOLE
I recently viewed a “The Great War” video on the typhus outbreak in Serbia during the winter of 1915. The epidemic was so bad the Austro-Hungarian Empire made no attacks as General Typhus was in the field.
I didn’t know until I saw video that typhus is spread by lice. Depressing how lowly my old home town has become.
The NappyOne
California’s new state slogan:
We’re #1 in the turd world
Well, these leftist ahole politicians and voter has nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Gavin Newsome, Garcetti Jr, and Gov. Insane Beam Brown, so they are reaping what they sowed at the voting booth.
A plague on all of these fools. They voted for it and now it’s here.
Can’t they place port-a-potties on every block?
