This article notes the L.A. homeless population is now 75,000 (as of 2023 count). Uhg. If the growth rate from 2022 to 2023 (9%) remains the same for the count that just started, then it's almost 82,000.

In my military days I was in several third world countries, parts of LA now resemble those places. Just a matter of time before the diseases spread out to the rest of the country. I would think that TB is rampant in the homeless camps.

In my military days I was in several third world countries, parts of LA now resemble those places. Just a matter of time before the diseases spread out to the rest of the country. I would think that TB is rampant in the homeless camps.

TB is also rampant in the county jail, as is Covid. A good friend is a PD in L.A. and she has told me that on average 60-70% of the criminal cases daily are continued because the inmates are in quarantine for TB or Covid.
The courthouse she works in averages 140 criminal cases a day, and 70% of them are in a holding pattern since 2020 due to the constant resurgence of TB and Covid in the jails, a good majority of the jail population between November and May are vagrants that commit crimes simple to get a warm bed and hot meals during the winter, even more so now due to the rain and flooding.
