Los Angeles County is experiencing an outbreak of hepatitis A. The majority of cases are occurring in individuals who are homeless and/or use illicit drugs. Outbreaks of hepatitis A in persons who are homeless and/or use illicit drugs are also occurring in San Diego and Santa Cruz counties.

Anyone can get hepatitis A, but you are at higher risk if you:

Are homeless and/or use illicit drugs Live with someone who has hepatitis A Use recreational drugs Are a man who has sex with men Have sexual contact with someone who has hepatitis Travel or live in countries where hepatitis A is common


All activities that liberal support. Actions do have consequences.

“Travel or live in countries where hepatitis A is common”

Gee, no mention of coming into contact with illegal aliens, especially those who harvest or prepare food, who come from those countries.

This is a real problem in San Diego. Liberal “do good” mayor and city council told the cops to stop enforcing the law. Downtown streets crowded with hobos sleeping in tents and crapping in the street. In the past, homeless people would crap into plastic shopping bags, and then throw the shopping bag into a dumpster. Liberal “do good “ politicians make plastic shopping bags illegal, and voila, homeless people crap directly onto the pavement.

Answered a survey question whether health insurance companies should be allowed to charge the overweight (me) and smokers more.

Maybe. I dont know

What are they charging fruits who rip each other’s anuses apart every night, likely with a different guy?

Technically, that set of actions is not sex. It's sodomy.

But Pap said the taters was comin' in a bumper this year, bubble. I think ye's a bit tetched with this hornswoggle.

Please reconsider and post accordingly in the future. Your corn-fed words of wisdom are no longer necessary.

I’m visiting my mom in SD right now. Something like 16 dead. It seems like the local politicians are more concerned with making sure that the homeless/drug addicts are not inconvenienced than protecting the health of citizens who choose to crap indoors. Like AIDS, it looks as if Hep A is now a disease with civil rights.

False premise. A man who has sex with a man is not a man, but something else entirely. Science is still working on what exactly that is.

It is known.

There is plenty of room in the shelters for those bums, but the shelters do not allow drugs and alcohol inside. It is time for some tough love from the cops. A “wooden shampoo” upside the head would do the trick and make the bums move on.

Stay away from the dregs of society. Don’t do drugs. Keep it zipped. And for goodness sakes do not travel to Kalifornica.

Good thing most of our newest Marines go straight home after graduation. The families need to be forewarned though. They stay in the city.
