In Ca., there seems to be a flood of Hispanics who join clubs , gyms, like Ballys, 24 Hour et al. My fear is that as a gym goer, in the steam room, in the sauna, in the pool area and even in the work out areas, could coughs, sputums,(for some reason people love to spit in the showers in gyms)spread disases? When I hear nothing but foreign lingo from the gym goers, I wonder.

What should concern you even more is that the first job many illegals get is in food service at restaurants. Hepatitis C is running twice the rate of the rest of the state in Galveston County. We don't eat out any more.

That is an excellent reminder since most restaurants, even upscale ones, have ethnic cooks , helpers, servers and cleaners. Gee, what a nice time to remind me when we were going out for some margaritas and Tex-Mex this coming Mon. Oh well, we can stay at home and eat spam.
