Bubonic Plague ‘Likely’ Already Present In Los Angeles, Dr. Drew Says

Los Angeles is going down the drain.

The city, with a population topping four million and a broader metropolitan area with many millions more, is awash in massive problems — overcrowding, lack of housing, and high demand for free services among them. But other far more serious problems are lurking, Dr. Drew Pinksy said on Thursday.

“We have a complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now,” Pinsky told Fox New host Laura Ingraham. “We have the three prongs of airborne disease, tuberculosis is exploding, rodent-borne. We are one of the only cities in the country that doesn’t have a rodent control program, and sanitation has broken down.”

Pinsky said bubonic plague — also known as the “Black Death,” a pandemic that killed off millions in the 14th century — is “likely” already present in Los Angeles. The plague is spread by infected fleas and exposure to bodily fluids from a dead plague-infected animal, with the bacteria entering through the skin and traveling to lymph nodes.

Typhus, which broke out in the city last year, will likely return, Pinsky said. Already, a Los Angeles police officer has contracted typhoid fever, which infects fewer than 350 Americans each year. The various types of typhus are caused by a bacterial infection and spread by body lice, chiggers or fleas. In the 1600s, the disease decimated Germany.

“This is unbelievable. I can’t believe I live in a city where this is not Third World. This is medieval,” Pinsky said, according to Fox News. “Third World countries are insulted if they are accused of being like this. No city on Earth tolerates this. The entire population is at risk.”

Pinsky said the city simply can't handle the demand for services, noting that many homeless are mentally ill and don't want to accept housing.



“[T]he government is somehow insisting that housing is the problem when in fact we have chronic mental illness, we have addiction, we have people who don’t want to leave the streets,” Pinsky said. “They literally won’t take the housing if we give it to them. And that’s the population that’s vulnerable, and is going to get so ill this summer. It scares me for their well-being.”

The famed doctor also said California cities are suffering after allowing thousands of illegal aliens to flow in. He said the liberal politicians running most cities are “disgustingly negligent.”

Homelessness is also exploding in San Francisco — the home district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat.

“A federal count shows the number of homeless people increased by double-digit percentages in three San Francisco Bay Area counties over two years as the region struggled to tackle the growing problem, including 17% in San Francisco and 43% in the county that includes Oakland,” the Associated Press reported.



Meanwhile, a new map compiled by the group Open the Books titled “2011-2019 San Francisco Human Waste Reportings” features a little pin (appropriately brown) showing where city residents have reported human feces. From the looks of the map, the entire city has been covered in poop.

“Since 2008, over 23,800 cases of human waste were reported in the heart of San Francisco. There were 13 reports of human feces in front of City Hall; 17 events at the U.S. Marshals office; and 67 reports at the Tenderloin police station on Eddy Street,” Forbes reported.

Even the biggest companies that call San Francisco home have not been spared. “The largest concentration of complaints was in the area of Market St., where the headquarters of companies such as Twitter and Uber are located. Nearly a hundred markers also were clustered along the block that surrounds city hall,” Fox said.

I read this earlier. It’s frightening. Wish that earthquake would come and rid us of that vermin. Well, not really. There are some good people there though not many.

Unless we control our border there will be more disease to come. Typhus, Typhoid, Measles, Flu, Meningitis, Tuberculosis. Besides illegal immigration, CA has become an open state practically begging mentally ill and homeless people to come and partake in the benefits. Crap all over San Fiasco. Drugs. It never ends and thanks to the socialist Leftists it only gets worse.

==================
Dirtiest cities run by Democrats.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and NY, Chicago, Baltimore, and many others, have been under the Democrats for so many years. Now, very dangerous to live or visit. Populated by millions of illegals, LGBT, Sanctuary cities, drug addicts, and homeless all scattering trashes, feces, and needles on the streets. All kinds of epidemics like Bubonic plague, or Ebola, are now happening. Then we all pay for their medical care and clean ups. 10 out of 10 dirty cities are under the democrat regime.

All states, counties, and cities run by democrats are loaded with hoodlums, drug addicts, terrorists, drug dealers, drunks, lunatics, LGBT's, and illegal aliens, and diseases.

That is what happens when democrats are in control.

The governor of CA announced recently that the state has a surplus and the money will be used to provide free legal and lawyers to undocumented immigrants. In the meantime their streets are filled with rat infested garbage and human feces, and the disease outbreaks and alerts are far higher than normal. This list is far longer than I expected. There have been enough TB cases that they've run short of TB medications.

CA has some of the highest taxes and cost of living; more than most other states. Typically, Democrats spend surpluses so that they can justify raising taxes even higher to keep paying for their pipe-dreams of utopia. When the big earthquake hits and the state has no money, people will leave in droves (if they don't do so before the Big One). There goes the tax base. CA will become a third-world nation of illegal immigrants, homeless, mentally ill, and a few rich Hollywood types that will refuse to leave because they have their walled-in compound, safe from the hoi-polloi, and plenty of money. However, at this stage, now I am being redundant.

First case of typhoid confirmed at LA Sheriffs office this week with a second being investigated.The Governor also said that a bill to supply Illegal Aliens with free health care will be submitted and that means passed as they will alter it if it should fail .No the governor didn’t say altered but some in the assembly have admitted that is the way they do it in Sacramento ,as the vote to not have gay marriage did the second time around.
