Top 10 Oregon counties for gonorrhea

Updated July 15, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017

A gonorrhea epidemic has hit Oregon amid public health concerns that the disease is becoming immune to standard treatment.

Since 2012, cases have nearly tripled statewide, affecting just about every part of Oregon, including rural counties where infections have been traditionally low.

Officials in some counties have become so concerned that they’ve launched public awareness campaigns, with ads on dating sites, Facebook and Google. In others, specialists have gone door-to-door, trying to track down infected people and their partners to get them treated.

“We came to a point where we said we have to do something,” said Tanya Phillips, health promotion manager for Jackson County.

Had to be the government or a tractor.

The government’s been experimenting with pig-men since the 50’s.

Seriously, yikes.

File this under “News You Can Use”?

I’m not sure how to use it though. Places to avoid? Places to go find easy partners?

Portland, Oregon, aka Multnomah County is on the top of the list. A liberal bastion, sanctuary city, protectors of criminal islamists, and apparently the center of an untreatable epidemic.

“Hello. Welcome to the Oregon Job Service.”

“Hi. Yes, I’m looking for a job.”

“And what was your last job?”

“I was a gonorrhea specialist.”

“..........Really........and exactly what did you do?”

“I asked people if they had gonorrhea.”

“That must have been a government job.”

“Yes.”

“Well, let’s see what we have here for someone with your experience. Yes. Hmmmmm. Ah, here’s one, Gas Pumper. You pump gas into cars.”

“I’ve got an MPA.”

“So you’re looking for something more like cashier?”
