San Diego County declared a local health emergency Friday night, adding a
new level of urgency to a hepatitis A outbreak that has hit hardest among
tthe homeless population, killing 15 people and hospitalizing hundreds.

The declaration by Dr. Wilma Wooten, the region’s public health officer, bolsters the county Health and Human Services Agency’s ability to request assistance from the state and provides legal protections for a slate of
actions that began unfolding across the city earlier in the day.

Working on a county contract, a private company began delivering portable hand-washing stations Friday morning in locations where homeless residents
tend to congregate. Twenty stations were in place by the end of the day
and 20 more were scheduled for installation Saturday, a county spokesman
said.

That effort is to be followed by street-cleaning crews shooting high-
pressure water spiked with bleach to remove “all feces, blood, bodily
fluids or contaminated surfaces,” according to a sanitation plan included
in a letter delivered to city government Thursday.

The cleaning plans, Wooten said, are modeled on similar efforts used to
control hepatitis A infections in Los Angeles.

“We know that L.A. has had no local cases of hepatitis A related to the
strain that we’re seeing here in San Diego,” she said. “It makes sense
that, if they’re doing it there and they haven’t had any cases, it could
be beneficial here as well.”

It has been clear for some time that the local outbreak is far beyond
ordinary. With 379 cases confirmed to date, it’s the largest surge seen in
at least 20 years.

The first cases linked to the outbreak occurred in November 2016, but
there weren’t enough of them until this past spring for local
epidemiologists to know for sure that infections were spreading more
quickly than usual. Most hepatitis A outbreaks are associated with
specific foods picked or processed under unsanitary conditions. The virus
that causes the condition lives in human feces and is spread when people
don’t wash their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom.

From the outset, the public health response to the outbreak has been vaccination and education. Though thousands of doses of vaccine have been distributed to date, that effort has not appreciably slowed infection
rates, while the number of deaths reported in recent weeks has
accelerated.

Because infections are most common among the homeless who often have no
access to sanitary facilities, the county’s efforts began to turn toward hand-washing and street cleaning in early summer.

But that transition has been painfully slow.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
