    No wonder we now have tropical diseases in Temperate climates.
    The insane now rule us. At one time they put you in camps for Tuberculosis(sanatorium) because it was incurable.Till you died or recovered. Now the Collectivists insist we are exposed in the name of unity,race, or equality.The sick now have the right to infect people. Madness.
