CDC: West Virginia HIV wave could be ‘tip of the iceberg’

"Kanawha County, which includes Charleston and has 178,000 residents, had two intravenous drug-related HIV cases in 2018. The number grew to 15 in 2019 and at least 35 last year, said Shannon McBee, a state epidemiologist."

"By comparison, New York City, with a population of more than 8 million, recorded 36 HIV cases tied to intravenous drug use in 2019, according to the CDC."

Remember how the Orange Former was going to fix the drug problems in rural red 'Merca?

Maybe NY should randomly test those people in Hell's Kitchen, Clinton and the UWS lying on the sidewalk with needles in their arms.

Deplorable country is good livin: pills, needles and Meth.

R3, maybe WV should test all the meth-addicted hillbillies like yourself

They said the fourth wave was coming. They opened things up too soon.

I’m indifferent to those needle exchange programs. They do not address the source of the issue which is IV drug use. It’s just treating symptom of spreading disease among those people.

Most people in WV are retards anyway. This the state where some mayor called Michelle Obama a gorilla in heels, can't happen to nicer folks.

Sorry, r9, whether you realize it or not, they are your fellow Americans and are human beings too. You should be concerned.

They gave zero fucks about our survival, R10. They are not my fellow anything.

R10, where is your hate for r3? I guess it's wrong to make fun of rural people, but totally cool to attack urban people

R5 You type stereotypes

You are contributing to the bigger issue of divisiveness and lack of concern for others. Hence the problem is you.

It's all that heroin, meth, DL married men, and no health program that makes an incrdibly toxic combo. And all of this during a pandemic too, so you just know COVID rates are parallel to it.

R13, YOU type stereotypes.

R16, crime is higher in big cities. Duh. New York actually has a lower crime rate than a lot of big cities, though, but being a Republican you probably wouldn't know that. Meanwhile, you'll suck up to WV Republicans who think homosexuality can be cured through prayer

You have to admit, those are some pretty cheerful signs pictured in the OP tho.
