STD's Cases Spike

[Konrad2012]

So looks like people aren't gloving it up again. 

 

California had a large increase in still births last year due to syphilis. 

 

STDs are becoming more and more antibiotic resistant.

 

I predict another massive wave of HIV infections from the combo of lack of safe sex and our current opioid epidemic (junkies are going to share needles if they can't find a clean one).

Southern Indiana had a massive HIV epidemic starting in 2016 due to the huge heroin problem, rest areas and truck stops had signs posted warning truckers about the HIV epidemic and avoid prostitutes (aka "Lot Lizards"). VP Pence (was Guv at the time) reluctantly approved a free needle giveaway to the heroin addicts. Getting to the point they'll start dispensing Narcan in gumball machines.

The worst states are primarily in ball stickage territory.

Way to go, Mississippi: #2 in STD, #2 in stillbirth (behind Alabama), #1 in infant mortality.

 

The AL-MS rivalry, scrapping for the bottom in public health and other metrics of civilization, continues.

 

West Virginia's low STD rate shows there is something good about keeping it in the family.

interesting public health tidbit:

MS and WV have the highest immunization rates in the nation because they are the only 2 states that only allow medical exemptions (no religious or personal) and they make parents jump through hoops for the medical exemptions they do grant.

California has a similiar law that took effect in 2016.

 

And of course soon there will be vaccines against gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia that will be given to kids manditorily by law by the time they're age 3.
