Meh, the only useful bits of most Florida residents fell off when they voted GOP. Leprosy ain't got much left to take.
It says central florida. It sounds like this is floribama area. You know, where the armadillos are much more common, and people are much closer to each other and nature. I would say since this is a disease that is in armadillos you might want to note they seem to be in the areas effected. I find the whole "it is in florida" to be as silly as considering NY to be one solid region. I would imagine the same goes for places like california too. You have a state of multiple very different environments and populations. There is a much larger distance for something to travel from jacksonville to Miami or Pensacola than to Atlanta or Columbia SC. I do not even know what they mean by central florida? Is that Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, or Tallahassee. Any of those could be considered "central by some people.
According to the stats in the article Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties all have had zero cases. Brevard has the highest numbers.
Yeah, that is not central IMO as it is an east coast county. It is central if you think the 95 corridor is all Florida has. Thanks as I got frustrated and clicked out before I ran into the chart. Brevard seems to be the obvious ground zero of this. I would not say that is armadillo country (compared to floribama). This is obviously not a Florida thing if it is so contained in one county on the east coast. There is a huge red zone which should be something concerning to the floriduh governor and SG if they were not so worried about woke infections across the state and kissing up to the fascists. If we had a real governor we might get this addressed. I am just glad I know so the next time I go north I gas up in vero and avoid ground zero. Melbourne is one of the areas I sometimes stop for their Love's truck stop. It is a Floriduh man meth hole of shit, but not like Ocala or floribama is.
Southern pastors - 'Leprosy is the punishment of God for us allowing the scourge of homosexuality and wokeness among our flock!' Funny it isn't prevalent in New York, then. Oh, those zany apocalyptic morons.
leprosy is easy to treat, the problem in most 3rd world countries is diagnosis and finding treatment, plus the costs.
I made that up. WHO provides free treatment in countries where leprosy is endemic. Maybe they'll throw us a lifeline.
The economies of those counties are built around the military which may or may not have something to do with that.
