California prison is plagued by illness

Postby fsolis on Sun, Dec 30 2007, 8:06 PM

I ran across this article by Jesse McKinley of the New York Times. It is about a fever that has killed at least 12 inmates, and sickened more than 900! The Link is below.

wow....that's pretty crazy!!! Atleast in a lot of the cases, it cures alone but in some of those where they die or are left handicapped....that's sad! Hopefully, they can figure out a way to stop it or meds that will help in the process of getting rid of it!!!

That's the last place you want to be ill or handicapped. Crazy..

Inmates appear to be especially susceptible to the disease, in part because they come from areas all over the state and have not developed an immunity to the disease.

Maybe it's Karma. Fuckers are getting paid back for something awful they did to someone innocent.

Here is a link to very important information about the different types of Hepatitis. Many people do not know how easily some types of Hep can be spread, so this info is good to know! Take care and thanks for asking, Nick Nack.
