Typhus Epidemic Spreads Across Liberal Utopia of Los Angeles Due to Mountains of Trash, Growing Homeless Population
A typhus epidemic is worsening in the liberal utopia of Los Angeles, California due to a growing homeless population and mountains of rat-infested trash.
Nothing says “progressive” more than a medieval infectious disease like typhus fever spreading through a city in the year 2019.
Typhus is mainly spreading across the homeless population through fleas that live on the rats that rummage in heaps of trash, however Liz Greenwood, the Deputy City Attorney who works at City Hall contracted the disease.
Symptoms of typhus include fever, headache and a rash. Untreated cases are fatal.
“It felt like somebody was driving railroad stakes through my eyes and out the back of my neck,” Greenwood told NBC 4. “Who gets typhus? It’s a medieval disease that’s caused by trash.”
Ms. Greenwood believes she contracted typhus from fleas that have infested her office at City Hall East.
“There are rats in City Hall and City Hall East,” Greenwood added. “There are enormous rats and their tails are as long as their bodies.”
2018 set the record for the number of typhus cases, reported NBC. 124 cases in Los Angeles County were reported, according to the California Department of Public Health.
In October, Mayor Garcetti promised to clean up the heaps of rat-infested trash piling up around Los Angeles to help combat the Typhus epidemic.
Even though the Mayor allocated millions of dollars to help clean up the LA, especially Skid Row, knows as “the Typhus Zone,” there are still mountains of trash everywhere and the infectious disease is worsening.
A statement from Mayor Garcetti’s office was given to NBC Los Angeles:
“Last fall we directed multiple City departments to begin a coordinated and comprehensive effort to improve cleanliness and protect public health in the Civic Center, including City Hall and City Hall East. In addition to increased trash collection and cleanings, aggressive action has been taken to address pests both in the buildings and in the surrounding outside areas — including abatement treatments and the filling of 60 rodent burrows and 114 tree wells. This work in busy and highly populated public buildings is executed carefully to protect workers and visitors, and the scheduling of extermination activities takes these factors into consideration.” — Vicki Curry, spokeswoman, city of Los Angeles
Why are Liberals always filthy pigs?

People don't like paying for basic services we take for granted downunder, Mechie. Councils downunder handle rubbish collection. In the US, you pay for the service and it is provided by private companies.

In Australia you pay for the service through your rates and it is subcontracted out to private companies.

In the US you pay the companies directly, Black Orchid. Americans hate paying taxes (rates)...

Paying the company directly is probably cheaper in the long run anyway. Our rates keep rising and our services keep declining. So the USA has the better system. If they don't like the service they get someone else. We don't get that option.

The excavation for the light rail is disturbing the rats nests and they are running rampant. Same thing happened when they worked on the Sydney markets.
No cats in Sydney town as there are too many Chinese restaurants.

Or they get no one 'cause they don't see the need to spend the money, hey, Black Orchid? Rather like the British who don't use rubbish bins for rubbish collection and wonder where all the rats come from, right?
