1000S OF ILLEGALS QUARANTINED AFTER EXPOSURE TO CHICKEN POX, MUMPS

Approximately 5,200 adult migrants in US custody for illegally entering the country have been quarantined by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being exposed to mumps or chicken pox, according to the agency.

An ICE official told CNN on Friday that of the quarantined individuals, approximately 80% (4,200) were exposed to mumps, 800 were exposed to chicken pox, and around 100 migrants were exposed to both. They will be quarantined for 25 days.
Just because individuals are quarantined doesn’t mean they have the mumps, but they’ve at least been exposed to it. From September 2018 to June 13, 297 people in ICE custody had confirmed cases of mumps, proven by blood test. –CNN
The agency began recording cases of mumps last September, with 297 cases for the period of time ending June 13.

“I think there is heightened interest in this situation because it’s the mumps, which is a new occurrence in custody, but preventing the spread of communicable disease in ICE custody is something we have demonstrated success doing,” said ICE executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations, Nathalie Asher.

Ask yourself this question. Is this the plagues that the Bible speaks of. How long will it be before we see the return of bubonic plague, typhus, etc.
We have already seen increases of most diseases that were eradicated in our great country. We, the American people are now living in third world conditions in many parts of our country and it will only get worse. Chances are many of our vaccinations are worthless after so many years. Get ready, the worst is yet to come.
