Blaze at homeless encampment in San Diego County may have exposed firefighters to hepatitis A - LA Times

The homeless problem is so bad in San Diego, California that they are concerned that firefighters might have exposed to hepatitis A at a homeless camp with large amounts of urine and feces.

The camp has up 100 people at a given time and a firefighter stepped in a bucket of waste at the San Diego, California homeless camp.

San Diego County - - this place is in the sticks.

If I was homeless, I'd live in the place where I could sleep outside with the fewest days of being too hot or too cold too.

The County should vaccinate the firefighters.

Then you should drive inland to Spring Valley and pick those folks up.

Pacific Beach is much more temperate with the Pacific moderating temps year round.

Wouldn't the fire burn up the germs?

Meanwhile homeless bums are camping in the yards of nice San Fernando Valley neighborhoods and officials say there is nothing they can do. Why do people pay taxes?

Can the homeless be forced to vaccinate? Normally I am rather cautious against vaccines but these people are going to cause an epidemic.

Agreed, but that isn't the point. The point is, firefighters shouldn't have to deal with stepping in or around human feces that is contaminated with a disease.

True - - and we have our share of homeless as well. You're going to be harassed less in Spring Valley, though (lived on Dictionary Hill for a few years so I have some history out there too).

It's an occupational hazard and their employer should protect them.
