AMERICA'S HOMELESS... A PRODUCT OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED!
Hepatitis A on the rise in California

A fourth
person died last month in San Diego, California due to a Hepatitis A outbreak,
which has infected over 196 people, according to the County Health and Human
Services Agency. Over 142 people have been hospitalized and no source of the
disease has been identified as of this writing. Those who have succumbed to the
disease are either homeless, using illicit drugs, or both.
Hepatitis A is
a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis A (HAV) virus. It is highly
contagious and can be spread by people sharing food or touching an object that
someone with HAV has handled. It can cause liver disease, which can last for a
few weeks or months. In serious cases, it can be fatal.
Symptoms of
HAV include jaundice (yellowy eyes and skin), loss of appetite, fatigue,
nausea, stomach pains, dark urine, and diarrhea.
The disease
is easily preventable with proper hygiene especially washing one’s hands after using
the bathroom. Given the atrocious living conditions forced on the homeless in
California and the United States, diseases once thought eradicated or at least
lessened are now making a comeback.
Those who
have been exposed to HAV can develop symptoms up to 50 days after exposure. The
disease can still be prevented if someone gets immunized within two weeks of
exposure.
San Diego
first began to see a rise in Hepatitis A last November and by the first press
release in April 2017, 42 people had been diagnosed with the disease. An
outreach campaign by the local government, including vaccination efforts and
distribution of educational flyers, has failed to stop the disease from
spreading.
The total
caseload in the first half of 2017 was already 700 percent higher than the
county’s yearly average since 2011. The hospitalized are overwhelmingly from
the city’s homeless population.
The county
has pledged to install hand-washing stations in areas of the city where there
is a high concentration of homeless people. Outreach teams also have been
distributing kits with soap, small bottles of water, and hand sanitizer. The
city has administered roughly 4,200 vaccinations since the start of the
outbreak.
San Diego
County health experts have yet to determine exactly what is causing the
outbreak, which usually can be traced to tainted food products. Some have
theorized the state’s recent ban on plastic bags has forced homeless people to
use the same bags in their possession and transmit the disease more easily, but
that is only one theory.
Many
advocates for the homeless point out there are little or no portable toilets or
places that provide food and showers, which are open 24 hours a day. The city
has used the pretext of drug use and illegal activity as a way of cracking down
on unattended properties, like portable toilets and showers. As a result,
diseases can now spread much more quickly.
The outbreak
of HAV is not confined to San Diego. In Santa Cruz, the County Health Services
Agency reported at least nine confirmed cases of HAV since last April. The
county usually only reports cases of HAV once or twice a year. Just like in San
Diego, those who have caught the disease are homeless, or using illicit drugs,
or both.
There have
also been serious HAV outbreaks in Hawaii due to imported scallops from the
Philippines. Over 290 people were sickened, mostly in Oahu, and many more would
have gotten sick had the rate of infection not slowed due to the embargo on the
contaminated scallops.
In September
of last year, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced it was
investigating a nationwide outbreak of the disease in not only California, but
also Wisconsin, Oregon, Arkansas, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
and North Carolina.
As a direct
result of the social crisis in America, diseases once thought to be a thing of
the past have returned. In 1989, the CDC reported 40,000 cases of HAV,
declining to less than 5,000 cases per year today. The enormous decline in
living standards since 1989 and the combined bipartisan attacks on public
health means these numbers will go up again to their previous heights if not
worse.
HOMELESS ELDERLY in AMERICA UNDER
MEX OCCUPATION
A Nation dies young, poor, addicted
and homeless…. It’s the American dream as the rich get super rich!
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the number
of elderly persons who are homeless in the US will have doubled by 2050.
America’s Super-rich Live 15 Years Longer!
………….. America’s Bludgeoned Middle-Class Dies Young, Addicted and Poor!
EACH ILLEGAL WILL COST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE $640,000
and then they go breed anchor babies for more!
………….. America’s Bludgeoned Middle-Class Dies Young, Addicted and Poor!
WHICH SIDE OF THE EQUATION ARE YOU DIGGING YOUR CHILDRENS’ GRAVES?
*
“Millions
of middle class families have been driven to bankruptcy by illness
and
medical bills.”
*
“This dramatic contrast in
life expectancy between the rich and poor is directly correlated to the growth
of obscene wealth at the top among a tiny elite and entrenched poverty among
growing numbers of people at the bottom.”….. BUT AMERICA STILL FINDS BILLIONS
TO HAND TO MEXICAN INVADERS, WHICH INCLUDES “FREE” HEALTHCARE.
*
In the first part of
the Lancet series, “Inequality and the health-care system in
the USA,” the British medical journal’s researchers found that these
income-based disparities in US life expectancy are worsened by the for-profit
US health care system itself, which relies on private insurers, pharmaceutical
companies and health care chains. It is also the most expensive health system
in the world.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HANDS
MILLIONS OF MEXICAN SOCIAL SECURITY? THEY GO BACKE TO MEXICO TO CASH THEIR SSI
CHECKS AND VOTE BY MAIL FOR MORE!
“The lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare
benefits of illegal immigrant beneficiaries of President Obama’s executive
amnesty would be well over a trillion dollars, according to Heritage Foundation
expert Robert Rector’s prepared testimony for a House panel obtained in advance
by Breitbart News.”
AMERICA: One paycheck
and two illegals away from homelessness.
"The economists found that the pre-tax share of
national income received by the bottom half of the US population has been cut nearly
in half since 1980, from 20 percent to 12 percent, while the income share of the
top one percent has nearly doubled, from 12 percent to 20 percent."
SOARING POVERTY IN AMERICA’S OPEN
BORDERS
TRUMPERNOMICS FOR THE SUPER RICH:
“In the US, the working class will confront a government unlike
any other in American history, which will continue and intensify a decades-long
social counterrevolution overseen by the Democrats and Republicans. The
incoming Trump administration is manned by billionaires, generals and arch
reactionaries. It is a government of, by and for the oligarchy, committed to
destroying every remaining gain won by workers over the past century.”
