Nice edit rockerrick :-p

I was thinking the same thing, you can't bag on our city & expect support from this community, maybe ANOTHER retirement is in your future. Saftey is paramount wherever you are, despite the current rate of supposed diseases.

Even using worst case scenario stats, according to the cdc if you take into account the published numbers for 2011 adding in the increase, were still ONLY at about 20 cases per every 100,000 people. That comes to about .02%

Seeing that you also claim Tampa as a home you should find this article interesting!!!!!!

I know the article is a couple of years old, but anyone with a good imagination and that can add or subtract years can fully understand how STD's can be spread across the country.

If you wish to depart our city, then I fair thee well. I hope that you go to a city that has a healthier demographic.

Better go north because the southern states are the fastest rising rates of HIV .
Oh my, so much can happen one day!
I wonder: Does someone not understand there's a difference between "up by 80%"; and "up to 80%"?

Anyway, not to worry: I will not contact you "no more."

Yes, big difference between up to and up from. In either case have fun. More syphillis for us !!!
The syphillis rate is on a massive increase all over the US.
One year in my area it was up by 300%


Keep in mind the largest demographic for this increase in all areas of the country is black poor females between the ages of 15-25. If your pool of sex partners includes those who tap into this demographic you would still be at risk.
Well said ma'am.
