Thanks for a great post Liz.

If you're coming up through Latin America, your chances of picking something up are good. LA is not noted for the best nutrition and so body systems may be down. But a lot of what they can pick up is usually easily treatable, but some isn't. Leprosy is up in Florida, but they have good treatments now. So, reaching near the end of the journey for an immigrant, the chances are up they will need medical treatment and that's one area we don't want to skimp on. We have enough troubles.

Thousands of people are pouring in. If the body systems are down and there's not good treatment it can become chronic and other people can get it during flare ups. So let's move some money and nursing staff to the strained areas - everyone benefits. We want to get them there shots, make it required if they want to stay(with exceptions). We have enough trouble with some of us who seem reality challenged.

But as the climate changes we are going to find that bugs and animals heading northward are going to bring more diseases with them. We need to deal.
