A flea-borne typhus outbreak in the Los Angeles area has also rocked Long Beach – the third city to be struck down in the region.

Officials have this year recorded 12 cases of the bug in the city, home to 470,000 people and around 20 miles (32km) south of downtown LA.

A further 20 cases have been recorded in Pasadena since the start of 2018 - and 59 in the whole of LA County in total.

Pasadena and Long Beach are both technically in LA County, however they have their own health departments which record their own figures.

Just great. I’m surprised we haven’t heard an outbreak like this occur in San Francisco. Just waiting for the reports of bubonic plague breaking out among CA’s homeless. What a joke the Golden State has become under RAT rule!

Epidemiology

According to the World Health Organization, the current death rate from typhus is about one out of every 5,000,000 people per year.[

Only a few areas of epidemic typhus exist today. Since the late 20th century, cases have been reported in Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Algeria, and a few areas in South and Central America

Maybe a month ago 5000 Central Americans came across in just one US border sector and claimed asylum. These were women and children. In just one week.
PLUS PLUS 2000 unaccompanied Central American minors....In just one week.

All of these were allowed entry due to the asylum scam.

DDT takes care of typhus fleas. Are American lives worth a few alleged thin bird eggs?

Does anyone remember why public health standards exist?

Why "bums" were run out of towns?

Why certain, newly-sanctified sex acts were proscribed?

Why immigrants were checked for diseases?

There are reasons but we forgot.

Homeless become flea infested; proximity to them infests normal folks; some get sick.

“We expect to continue to see clusters of flea-borne typhus throughout L.A. County,” stated health officials.

We are continuing to see cases of flea-borne typhus throughout Los Angeles County,
so it is important that everyone takes steps to reduce their own risk of infection,”
L.A. County health officer Dr. Muntu Davis said on Friday.
Routine check for fleas on your domestic pets, eliminate outdoor sources of food for rodents, squirrels, opossum, and control human trash.
