According to my source, skid row in L A is very near City Hall and the court house. Lots of city workers are becoming infected by this highly contagous disease. California=Third World Cesspool

Tent cities full of lice infested homeless, poop in the streets and discarded needles...what’s the problem? I can’t WAIT to hear from San Fran!

[Blueflag]

Insect-borne infection (lice and ticks) and can also be water/ bad hygiene.

Making Victorian Diseases Great Again!

It’s a wonder we haven’t heard from them first!

[struggle]

Cali has a higher poverty percentage than Mississippi.

Geez, the last time I heard of Typhus was on a Little House On The Prairie episode where they got it from rat droppings on corn meal..LA is a total sh*thole, trust me I live here its HORRIBLE yet what does Newsom want to do, give more money to asylum seekers

[Steely Tom]

Another disease being granted civil rights.

When you invite the third world, you get third world problems.

[MplsSteve]

“When you invite the third world, you get third world problems.”

Agreed.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

And yet Texas consistently has the highest number of typhus cases in the country.

[John Locke]

To be fair: back in the Middle Ages, people did not know that the Black Death was being spread by rats, and communicated by the fleas on the rats.

Today we should know better: contagious diseases are spread by the diseased. We knew that perfectly well back on Ellis Island a century age.

And I fear we are about to discover that political correctness is not an effective remedy against disease.

Naturam expellas furca ..

[thinden]

Another disease being granted civil rights.

Mayor Garcetti is considering running for President. Wouldn’t you like a President who has run a large city so well? No?

[Bonemaker]

I’m waiting for the black plague to re-emerge.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I am still waiting for someone to dig up an Eskimo who died of Smallpox, and was buried in permafrost. Scientists recovered virus from the 1918 flu epidemic that way.

[Chgogal]

How long before some idiot gets on a plane at LAX and spreads the disease?

[DownInFlames]

5 hours infecting the plane then terminals.
