The city of Los Angeles is now reporting an outbreak of the disease Typhus. It is connected to fleas on rats which are flourishing in the city’s numerous homeless encampments.
California has the highest tax rate in the country. Why? What do people get for paying such high taxes? They get preventable diseases because their leaders are worthless.
There’s really no excuse for this at all.
NBC News in Los Angeles reports:
Flea-borne typhus rising in LA County with latest case reported in Wilshire Center
Typhus, a flea-borne bacterial disease, is on the rise in Los Angeles County, with the latest localized case reported in the Wilshire Center neighborhood, public health officials said Tuesday.
The disease is spread to humans by infected fleas that commonly live on rats, opossums, stray cats and other animals. Common symptoms include headaches, chills, muscle aches and rash.
The Wilshire Center case is the second localized typhus outbreak this year, according to the LA County Department of Public Health.
There were at least seven symptomatic cases linked to the outbreak, health officials said. Six of the seven patients had to be hospitalized at one point. All have recovered, the department said.
So far this year, 109 flea-borne typhus cases have been reported in Los Angeles County.

This is what years of one-party rule have brought to the people of Los Angeles.
The homeless population was allowed to explode and now they’re dealing with medieval diseases. Why are the taxes so high in California? What are the people getting for all of the money they send to the city and state?
