As the homeless population in Los Angeles grows, so does the unfortunate revival of many third world diseases...

Despite hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through Los Angeles to stem the rising tide of homelessness, a resurgence of medieval diseases has the city – and neighboring states – on edge. Typhoid fever and typhus, borne by fleas, body lice, and feces, are turning the once glitzy and glamorous city into a third-world worthy environment.

Yes, Typhoid Mary is back, in a sense, living on the streets and wreaking havoc on unsuspecting people in the Golden State.

These diseases, along with an uptick in tuberculosis, hepatitis A, and staph, are easily and rapidly spread and have wide-reaching consequences. They’re highly contagious and can infect anyone through casual contact.

Typhoid fever

An LAPD officer was recently diagnosed with typhoid, and several other city employees are exhibiting the classic symptoms of high fever, muscle pain, and weakness. Left untreated, the disease can be fatal – and let’s face it: The malady wiped out entire populations during the Dark Ages and took a heavy toll on American Civil War soldiers and early American settlers. Some historians blame the malaise for obliterating the Jamestown settlement.
Where The Heck Did They Come From?

Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority recently released a report showing 59,000 people living on the streets in Los Angeles County – a 12% increase since 2018 – with 36,300 of them within the city limits of Los Angeles. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), reports that “California accounted for 30% of all people experiencing homelessness as individuals” throughout the United States.

The progress of these once eradicated and near eradicated diseases is so alarming that the politicians who once spent copious amounts of time covering up the warts and putrid pustules in their liberally run cities and state are now showing disbelief and disgust.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) broke his silence during his state of the state speech in February: “Our homeless crisis is increasingly becoming a public-health crisis. Typhus, a medieval disease. In California. In 2019.”

Los Angeles Mayor Gil Garcetti (D), who many believed would be a 2020 presidential contender, calls the crisis, “the biggest heartbreak for me and my city.” Garcetti campaigned extensively for the initiative known as Proposition HHH, which designated $1.2 billion over the next ten years to build homeless housing. But now residents are howling about the pricey plan’s abject failure. One local L.A. news outlet polled residents and found that “Forty-five percent said it’s failing, with 18 percent saying it’s a complete failure.”

Voters passed Propositions 47 (2014) and 57 (2016), downgrading theft and drug offenses to misdemeanors and redefining many felonies from violent to nonviolent to release a horde of inmates – some addicted to drugs and suffering from now untreated mental illness.

And it will continue to fall unless politicians change their ways. They have been warned for 3 or 4 years and they just ignored.

One thing they seldom mention is where all those unused plastic needles and feces sprayed into the sewers by the fire department end up. In the underlying water supply. Same in San Francisco. Kinda reminds me of Pharo in Exodus. Until the plagues God unleashed on Pharo using Moses Pharo stubbornly ignored the problem until it affected him directly. When liberals get sick or attacked they'll cry and ask why me?

Another MAJOR problem with the homelessness is a dramatic increase of the RAT population. They seem drawn to places where sanitation (or the lack of it) is a problem. They carry all manner of nasty diseases, like plague, typhus, rat bite fever, hantavirus (related to ebola), leptospirosis. salmonellosis, Colorado tick fever. There was thing on the news yesterday about how the rat population has exploded in those areas and the state is spending money to study the problem.

It is not a problem caused by Liberals. It is too many people--not enough resources being applied in the right direction.

L.A. has a problem of their own making, Sanctuary City. California has 30% of the homeless people in the country, so what the rest of the country gets to pay for it?

Sounds like a classic liberal problem to me.

It matters little, dead is dead and this to spread like wildfire by truck or rail or air.

Actually Tom it is. The elected majority of leaders of those areas are liberals. The policies are liberal. They don't work. The homeless have expanded due to liberal incentives. it will be a disaster of unprecedented proportions.

It already IS a disaster of unprecedented proportions. And until something sensible is done (not likely in a Democratic state and city) this is surely going to spiral downhill with more tax-payers abandoning the state, more illegals and more homeless people drawn to these areas and more taxes being levied on the remaining income earners. It's a vicious cycle. Eventually their food and money supplies are going to dry up on them and then it's going to get really nasty.
