The city of Los Angeles is suffering from an outbreak of a "middle ages" and "pioneer days" disease —typhus — typically found in homeless populations.
The outbreak began in October, according to CNN, with 57 cases of the flea- and flea feces-borne disease in downtown Los Angeles, not typically a hotbed of rare diseases. That was up from around 6 cases over the summer, all found in people "experiencing homelessness."
According to L.A. public health officials, there were more than 120 reported cases of typhus in 2018, and that number is increasing steadily in the first months of 2019.
A local NBC affiliate says city officials assumed that the disease would remain largely within the homeless population, but lately, cases of typhus have been cropping up among an unexpected group of people: city officials.

Thank you again dumbocrats for transforming this once great nation into a third world hell hole
Well when you allow millions of illegals in every year without any knowledge of who they are. What they are. What their health issues are. Then you let the druggies live on the streets doing drugs. Then they use the water systems for their own porta potty. Gee haven't a clue what's going on.
When you begin to get diseases that have been cured in the 18th century. The illegals your letting in are some NASTY PEOPLE.
thank you Nancy.
You guys must have access to some untel we dont have. Is there anything in this story saying anything about the outbreak coming from illegal immigrants? I saw it was from the homeless.
Gee. ANOTHER CNN viewer. Can't think for themselves need Anderson Cooper to tell him it's the homeless. But your to STUPID to know that most of the homeless our illegals. But you butt buddy Anderson Cooper didn't tell you because that would be FACT. RUN ALONG STOOGE.
Wrong again. But I guess when you never pull your head out the eastwrn shore mud, it becomes easy to create your own fantasy land of make believe alternative facts
