Rat-infested piles of rotting garbage left uncollected by the city of Los Angeles, even after promises to clean it up, are fueling concerns about a new epidemic after last year's record number of flea-borne typhus cases.
Even the city's most notorious trash pile, located between downtown LA's busy Fashion and Produce districts, continues to be a magnet for rats after it was cleaned up months ago. The rodents can carry typhus-infected fleas, which can spread the disease to humans through bacteria rubbed into the eyes or cuts and scrapes on the skin, resulting in severe flu-like symptoms.

The Dem infestation is the real problem. The "Rats" are just the mascots for the Commie team.

None of this is ever going to get better until we outlaw liberalism.

Unfortunately the real epidemic is those that voted for the policies that created all this garbage will be fleeing to a State near you bringing their filthy progressive liberal diseases with them.

One of the things that used to separate the western world from the third world is that the western world was so much cleaner and as a result had fewer filth-related diseases like typhus, bubonic plague, dysentery, cholera, tuberculosis, polio and scabies. Now that we've been invaded by the third world, all those diseases are making a comeback in our country. Coupled with the anti-vaccine movement, how long before we have a polio outbreak in this country?

Concerns of a new epidemic of various diseases exist because LA has allowed huge mounds of trash to pile up in the streets. How does the center for all that is holy in Lefty Land become such a cesspool? The NBC report provides details of the problem. But it does not link any of them to policies put in place by the Leftist city government in the Leftist State of California. What gives, NBC?
All the virtue signaling in the world does NOT result in good policies; it does not pick up the trash. I would suggest that Leftism creates trash.

California's Empire has collapsed and what is left is a return to the Dark Ages, with Ignorance and Pestilence, with serfs ruled by power-mad Barons.

LA is just another liberal paradise, like SF.

I taught in a middle school in south central a few years ago. At the end of every day there were mounds of trash on the floor. Tried everything, rewards, assigning jobs to clean etc. But most of the kids said it wasn't their responsibility so I'd stay after and clean up. When I'd ask the kids to pick up their own trash their response was: "That's why we have maintenance people." They had no sense of pride of ownership or a sense of responsibility, probably because some of the kids were homeless and others did not learn this from their parent/s. It was very sad.
The camps and trash of the homeless were all over the place but once you got close to City Hall and the courts it was pristine.
This is a result of the left and if we allow it to continue we will look like Venezuela.

Anyone who is still willingly living anywhere near the LA area is risking their life. We could see an epidemic of plague in our lifetime that could rival the middle ages. Scary thing is, we could have outbreaks of several diseases at the same time too.

Import millions of 3rd world illegals, and shockingly, they will still live like ignorant,
unwashed, infested 3rd world people that they are.
Enjoy, it California. This is what you have voted for.
My only sympathy is for the good people, outnumbered by the leftist
crazies, who still live in California.

What a surprise. Sometime back, I posted we are headed for a new plague, thanks to the democrats allowing the filthy "homeless" encampmets to spring up everywhere. The accumulation of urine, fecal matter and other rotten waste will surely turn into a new plague. When will this nonsense stop? Maybe after a few politicians get infected?

The article fails to say WHY the trash is there. Is it failure of government, trash collectors strike, people living like pigs, homeless people....? The liberal utopia fails to lay blame on anyone and nobody will accept responsibility to correct the problem. However, the liberal crazies in LA are very fast to criticize anyone who would dare to suggest that their policies are responsible for the situation.

Well gawd forbid you burn the trash and shoot the rats. Look at all of the infamous people from CA and no one addresses the H-llhole their state has become.
