Americas slide to third world status would be my guess.

It’s all those queer soldiers and sailors returning from turd world countries, picking up 18 types of clap and fudge borne diseases.

Hand sanitizer worship.

Mega BUMP!

Our bodies have amazing capacities to fight off the bad guys. If you use hand sanitizer on a regular basis, the body's ability to fight is lessened.

I purposefully do not use hand sanitizer because I figure my old bod needs all the help it can get.

The first paragraph of the article was so overwrought I figured the rest of it wasn’t worth the effort. Was I wrong?

Gated communities don’t stop bacterial plagues or viral epidemics.
All those rich and famous people require their servants, washer women, gardeners and pool boys.
They also need food, most of which is imported.
Some of the diseases we will see in the future will not be stopped by even the best modern medicine.
The only defense will be total isolation from contact with the outside world of the carriers.
Even the rich and powerful will die in agony.
The 13th century taught this lesson very well.

Pandemics are small in number, thank God. You could build a 20-foot wall, and a moat filled with alligators, and you won't stop them.

Which is what I find disturbing about the argument that illegal immigration is to blame. Sure it is, in some cases, but not in others . . . so is someone truly concerned about health risk, or illegal immigration? And if someone engages in that argument (and including legal immigration), how is it different from a lib taking the opportunity to scream, "ban guns," whenever there is a crime?

I don't think that even some opponents of illegal immigration (and I oppose illegal immigration) understand that they are hurting the cause.

Give it another couple months, and we'll get a "bubonic plague reported in Arizona" thread, with people blaming it on everything but where it originates, mouse crap.

I have Hep C. The medication to cure it is about 175,000.00.
Got it in a transfusion in the 90’s I’m guessing.

Anyways at that price for 24 bottles of pills
(7300.00 ea.) I’d say the pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders would be suspect.

Cops always say, “Follow the Money”.

Bubonic plague can only be contracted from the bite of an infected flea, pneumonic plague is air-born from the coughs and sneezes of the infected.

Thanks, I am not a doctor. But illegal fleas are not the problem, which is my point.

Now we are warehousing thousands of children in confined quarters letting their infections spread and multiply before they are turned loose on American cities with the caveat that they”Return in 15 days” for a hearing. Brilliance once again from the faculty lounge and the Alinsky acolytes.

You’re right about the restaurant help as being a source of contamination. Just another reason we only go to small local restaurants where we know the owners and then only rarely because of the cost.

Good point.
Except that I think bubonic plague is rat fleas. Mouse poop is Hanta Virus.
