CDC: Look What Spread Across U.S. During Pandemic In 2020

(Tea Party PAC) – Have you had your daily dose of gross today? If not, allow me to help you fulfill your intake requirement with a little information about a really nasty something that was spreading all across the United States during the thick of the coronavirus pandemic back in 2020.

And if you’ve already read some yucky stuff, well, there’s nothing wrong with a second helping, right?

According to a report from WND, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released some new information stating that the U.S. sustained a surge in sexually transmitted diseases during 2020, taking levels of infection to a new 30-year high.

Blech.

The Daily Mail went on to cite details from the CDC regarding the spread of gonorrhea and syphilis, stating the 678,000 cases of gonorrhea was the highest number our country has experienced since 1990.

“For syphilis — a condition that can trigger painful rashes — there were 134,000 cases spotted over the same period, also a record for the last three decades but up just three percent in 12 months,” the Mail stated in the report.

The report then went on to reveal that the total cases of STDs hit 2.4 million in 2020, which is down a small percentage from the number in 2019, but that change was probably due to the fact that fewer tests were being done during the battle with COVID.

Infection numbers were probably still on the rise, according to the CDC report.

“The highest rates were among black and American Indian populations, while gay and bisexual men had the highest rates of chlamydia,” WND reported.

“The warning was from Jonathan Merin, director for STD prevention, who cited the ‘unrelenting momentum’ of the epidemic that continued throughout COVID’s lockdowns, limited interaction among people and more,” the report continued.

The Daily Mail said, “It has been suggested that cases of the diseases — spread by vaginal, anal or oral contact — rose because a lack of testing left many infected people unaware they had an STD, leading to them unwittingly passing it on. Rising rates of drug use were also thought to be behind the rise.”

“While the report said total cases of the three, chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, edge downward slightly in 2020 that most likely was because a drop in testing resulted in a failure to detect more cases,” WND’s report stated.

The report, which was called the “2020 Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance” has data from various surveillance systems, as well as information collected from the STD Surveillance Network and the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project.

Geez, they make it sound like tracking these diseases are part of some sort of CIA spy project or something.

Leandro Mena, director of the CDC, has come out and said that the problem continues due to a lack of “equity.”

Or maybe it persists because people are fallen in nature and seem to have a really hard time controlling their impulses. But what do I know? I’m not a biologist.

“Social and economic factors – such as poverty and health insurance status – create barriers, increase health risks, and often result in worse health outcomes for some people. If we are to make lasting progress against STDs in this country, we have to understand the systems that create inequities and work with partners to change them. No one can be left behind,” Mena remarked.

According to the data, blacks had 1,086 cases per 100,000 people and American Indians had 612.6.
