Has syphilis been discussed of late? Seems a resurgence is underway.

Get a breakdown of who is testing positive here.

Let’s just say it is probably divided heavily along ethnic lines.

Little backgound factoids:

quote:

According to Capone's great-niece Deirdre Capone, her gangster relative went to elaborate lengths to hide “hundreds of millions of dollars.” But by the time Al Capone was released from prison, the mobster's mind had decayed after contracting syphilis


quote:

Oscar Wilde's Portrait of Dorian Gray was a secret parable for Wilde's struggle with syphilis. Vincent Van Gogh started painting images of death in 1886 after contracting syphilis.


quote:

Abraham Lincoln told his biographer, friend, and law partner of 18 years, William Hearndon, that he had been infected with syphilis in 1835 or 1836. Hearndon, believing both Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln had syphilis, suspected it in the premature death of 3 Lincoln children.



quote:

Syphilis existed in medieval Europe, and it caused the death of England's King Edward IV

Would be interesting to see the numbers broken down along various demos. They probably exist but really hard to find, for reasons.

Pretty unfortunate that syphillis is causing that much short term disability.

Louisiana has long been at the top for STD rates. Baton Rouge has had the highest HIV rate in the country for a while. New Orleans isn't far behind.
African Americans make up 40% of all HIV cases. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why most of the states in the top 10 are in the South.

Getting the self proclaimed geniuses to admit this has been an issue.

And it shows about what you would think.

Black men have insanely high rates, with Native Americans and mixed race individuals also being very high but not at those rates.

And only one of those groups exists in large numbers in this country.

Not worried about an STD that can be cured with Amoxicillin -- which is FREE at Publix.

I’m not sure society had any extra brain cells to spare. It seems to me people in general, at most have three brain cells and they are all fighting.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
quote:

In a statement, Publix announced, "Effective June 1, 2022 we will no longer offer our free prescription program." Instead "Maintenance medications, including Metformin, Lisinopril and Amlodipine, will be eligible for $7.50 for a 90-day supply and Amoxicillin will be $7.50 for a 14-day supply."
