California Blames Return of Medieval Disease on ‘Global Warming’
Or maybe it's open borders, homelessness and banning rat poison.

Los Angeles funded and enabled a massive population of drug addicts to set up tent camps and banned effective ways of killing vermin. Medieval diseases returned. What’s to blame? Global warming!
The county health department’s report indicates that California also had the highest number of flea-borne typhus cases in the modern era at 277.
Number 1 in the modern era. Or perhaps California is going medieval.Shannon Bennett, the chief of science and a microbiology curator at the California Academy of Sciences, said the disease has been around for centuries and is “as old as the plague.”
“It’s always a little disconcerting to be hit with an old, emerging infectious disease,” she told SFGATE, saying she’s concerned that people’s hygiene and living conditions could leave them at risk.
Bennett said a changing climate with warmer temperatures may help flea populations increase, which can lead to the spread of typhus.
“Hygiene and living conditions”. Or you know, warm weather, in California of all places.“It’s always a little disconcerting to be hit with an old, emerging infectious disease,” she told SFGATE, saying she’s concerned that people’s hygiene and living conditions could leave them at risk.
Bennett said a changing climate with warmer temperatures may help flea populations increase, which can lead to the spread of typhus.
What might be causing this outbreak?
“It’s never been considered a very common disease,” Peter Hotez, the dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, noted, “but we seem to see it more frequently. And it seems to be extending across from Southern California all along the Mexican border into southeastern Texas and then into the Gulf Coast in Florida.”
America never had much of a history of typhus, but Mexico did. And our brief episodes of typhus invariably involved immigrants and migrants carrying the disease from Europe or Mexico.
The first outbreak of the disease in this hemisphere occurred in Mexico back in the 17th century and there have been 22 major outbreaks since then, caused in part by refugees and crowded conditions. Typhus was so associated with Mexico that it was even known as Tabardillo or Mexican typhus fever. There was extensive debate as to whether Mexican typhus was different than European typhus.
The first case of typhus in southern California was linked to Mexican refugees.
Then again, it could be the plague of rats that Democrats decided to enable by banning effective poisons while legalizing public human waste and street living.America never had much of a history of typhus, but Mexico did.

Los Angeles County’s ongoing typhus epidemic had infected Deputy City Attorney Liz Greenwood.
“Who gets typhus? It’s a medieval disease that’s caused by trash,” she wondered.
Greenwood is partially correct. The typhus outbreak, like the hepatitis outbreak, was directly caused by social justice policies that legalized public vagrancy, and leaving trash and human waste on sidewalks. The piles of trash, human waste and people combine to create horrifying diseased conditions. Before Greenwood, many Los Angeles patients who had been diagnosed with typhus were indeed homeless.

The issue here isn’t ‘global warming’, it’s local Democrats who decided to create the perfect conditions for a medieval disease while blaming the results, as everything else, on global warming.Commentary:
This is 100% on the third world slums Democrats have created in California.
Typhus is a disease historically associated with squalor and unhygienic living conditions. Common in towns in Mexico, being besieged or the armies conducting sieges.
It should be noted that Typhus and Typhoid are different. There is a vaccine for Typhoid virus, but none for Typhus.
Epidemic Typhus is specifically caused by body lice. Another types of typhus, like murine typhus, are caused by fleas.
