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.
They used scenery pictures from each county.
Oregonorrhea.
Well “road kill,” if you want to “fix” Oregon, your 40 mile boundary is way short. Portland (Multnomah County) is about 100 miles from the Pacific, and from the data in the article, nearly all the cases of Gonorrhea are there.
You’re right on the distance.
No! I’m for ricin’ the WHOLE WEST COAST! Did I hurt your widdle feewings again?
In Oregon, I don’t think it is females who are spreading the “Clap”. Mostly gay men with either oral or anal problems.
“No! I’m for ricin’ the WHOLE WEST COAST! Did I hurt your widdle feewings again?”
Not at all! I just find your low-IQ rant beneath the acceptable level of discourse on FR. Nothing is gained by your sophomoric comments. None of the real estate is going to “fall off” into the Pacific, and for the most part, the Pacific coast (apart from a few big RAT-run cities), is Conservative. Your demented, moronic comments are just a waste of bandwidth. Free speech allows you to make your outlandish statements, but free speech also shows the rest of us that you aren’t worthy of the time it takes to read what you write. Now, back to your doublewide to fry something.
Well, it will keep dentists and gastroenterologists in business.
” None of the real estate is going to “fall off” into the Pacific,”
I wouldn’t bet the ranch on that, there is a lot of real estate that falls into the Pacific everyday and if the Cascadia fault slips about 6 feet there will be a whole lot of liberals learning to swim real quick.
What a asinine statement! I guess from your perspective, life-long conservatives like my wife and me who live in your “zone of destruction” are just going to have to be “collateral damage,” is that right you bunghole? I guess you prove the notion that not all folks here on FR have IQ’s above 100! Road Warrior? Road Kill is more like it! GFY!
Thank you for proving my point!
The U.S. military in Korea set up “Community Relations” officers in areas with nearby Korean populations, where it could be expected the U.S. soldiers would find willing sex partners.
The “community affairs” officer & the local mayors would be on a Community Affairs council. The locals would register the “sex workers” in their area. There would be periodic medical checks, and the local mayor would “send away” a sex worker who did not pass the medical check. They’d could return with a clean bill of health. There also was a system where a G.I. could, for regular payment, have a “temporary ‘wife’ “ that was his and his alone. If a G.I. got an STD his pass privileges were withheld until he was clean.
Everyone knows how STDs are spread, but civilian society is unwilling to treat the problem with all the government intrusion the military has been willing to use.
Yes in the end it is personal responsibility in the first place, and because enough humans will always fail that test, you will always have the problem.

Oh wow! Another slope head! “Mr. Geology!”
What is going unmentioned here, is that all of the listed Counties, are among those, with the highest populations of illegal aliens. In the rural Counties they are working in agricultural jobs. In the largest urban Counties Multnomah (Portland) and Marion (Salem) they work in entry level and semi-skilled jobs, supplemented with lots of welfare money and benefits. Unfortunately, many came from cultures with poor sanitary skills. Lonely, single young adult men, with money in their pockets and an itch in their jeans. Is anybody surprised another gonorrhea epidemic is upon us?
“Do you have a link for that information?”
No. I was assigned to Alaska in the mid to late 80’s and we were told about it. The aspect of having quarantine islands is not a new one. These places of quarantine were called “Lazarettos” or “Lazerets.” All were named after Lazarus, the beggar from the Scriptures. The islands often doubled as leper colonies and sometimes penal colonies. The goal of the Lazaret was simple: isolate and quarantine those who were sick—or thought to be sick—until they recovered, or until they died.
There were operative islands as late as the mid 1960’s they would admit to. There was one in San Francisco Bay near Angel Island that was used to delouse immigrants.
Here is a short list of islands that different countries admitted to:

The first of the islands being used near Japan started during the Korean conflict and went forward from there. To my knowledge, most of the active islands used for quarantine were not admitted about during their use.

Thanks for the info. Unbelievable.
That’s not a good visual.
Wow, I live in JoCo and I’d’ve never guessed it would rank so high in VD cases!
Yuck!
Thanks for that eye-opener.

Hey, I live in Southern Oregon and some of my friends live along the Oregon coast, just as there’s lots of good Freepers who live in Cali.
Don’t condemn all of Oregon because of the whacko liberalism of the three Metro counties!
Ed
OK! I amend my statement:
“Everything within 40 miles of the west coast, needs to fall off into the ocean! And, take its residents with it! (Except Freepers and conservatives, of course! And their families and friends.)”
Yep, and since Christopher Reeve isn’t around, that part of the country may be in big trouble if a terrorist mastermind concocts Lex Luthor’s evil scheme.
