Comrade: You've been listening to rumormongers, Comrade. There is no typhus in our city.
Zhivago: Well, that's good news.

Los Angeles officials are potentially exploring ripping out all the carpet at City Hall amid reports of the building being overrun by rats and fleas as a typhus outbreak plagues the downtown area.
Council President Herb Wesson, who filed the motion Wednesday and at one point moved his staff to another location over the rodent infestation, also asked officials to investigate the “scope and vermin of pest control issues.” He cited a case involving a city employee who possibly contracted the flea-borne illness while at work.
“Employees shouldn’t have to come to work worried about rodents,”
...
The California Department of Public Health first reported the flea-borne typhus outbreak in L.A. County in October and said that the affected area included large parts of downtown where homeless populations sleep, including Skid Row. It said it had recorded 167 confirmed cases in 2018.
...
The illness is spread by fleas that have been infected by rats and other vermin, and can cause high fever, chills, headache and rashes. It also tends to circulate in areas with heavy trash accumulation.

Just sprinkle around some DDT. If that doesn’t work, the Germans used to sell a really good bug killer in the US in the 1930s - Zyklon B.
Has Kalifornia banned the pesticides they need to keep rats under control? That would be rich.
Clorox the damn place...
Liberalism.
Forgetting all advances made by those evil white Europeans.
Live with it, Mexifornia.

Or not, I don't really care. They made their choices.
Maybe bus all the homeless people to Death Valley or Salton City.
Clean up the trash?
Clean out the druggies and homeless?
Why can’t we do homeless sweeps to get people off the streets?
Hey, those fleas may be protected.
/s
.... Why don’t they just make Typhus illegal .... that should do it.
Maybe the fleas are a protected species
Removing the illegals who brought it in would be cheaper and more effective.
Next they will fly yellow flags in buildings that are under quarantine.
Removing the wetbacks ain’t going to happen.
“Employees shouldn’t have to come to work worried about rodents,”
Yeah, but most of them voted the ‘rats in.
I thought rats and fleas were protected...they are part of the great fabric of Kalifornican society.
I'm for granting them the vote. Could it get worse?
If I’m working in City Hall, and there are fleas, well that’s it, I’m staying home. This is so disgusting, but this ramshackle state thinks they should lead the nation.
Maybe we should just let Mexico have it back. But every single registered Dem in the state must be forced to stay there, they cannot “emigrate” to the rump USA.
21st Century Los Angeles:
Rats, Typhus, and Dystopian Homeless Camps.
Dear Angelenos, those dystopian Hollywood movies were meant to be warnings; not ideals to be achieved.
