Good morning, as if Florida wasn't enough of a shithole…it gets worse. H/t BB for this nugget:

Rising evidence is pointing to the possibility that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern U.S. with Floridabeing named among the top reported states.
In a recently published research letter regarding emerging infectious diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that Florida is witnessing an increase in leprosy cases lacking traditional risk factors and recommending that travel to Florida be considered when conducting leprosy contact tracing in any state.
The cases have increased doubled over the past decade…
Florida stands out in the report for two reasons: Central Florida alone accounted for nearly 20% of the total number of cases reported nationally and several new-case patients in central Florida demonstrated no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors.
Hansen's disease has never been common in the U.S., with most cases previously involving people who immigrated from leprosy-endemic areas. But the new report shows that about 34% of the reported cases between 2015 and 2020 were locally acquired.
The report concludes that a growing body of evidence suggests central Florida may represent an endemic location for leprosy and recommends that physicians consider leprosy in the appropriate clinical context in patients who have traveled to the area, even in the absence of other risk factors.

Is there a cause for concern about election officials?

No election is perfect, however. Inexperienced officials may take longer than usual to release election results or make minor administrative missteps. And in the current political environment, Becker said, bad actors can spin those hiccups into dangerous conspiracy theories.
"That could create a very volatile period of time where there are efforts to delay the counting and intimidate people who are counting ballots, delay the certification and intimidate people who are in charge of certification and perhaps delay or obstruct the meeting of the Electoral College members in each state," he added. "All of which are unlikely to stop the duly elected individual from being declared the winner of the presidency, but could create a volatile situation that's ripe for political violence."
As if all we had to worry about were fake electors.
And it looks like Musk not only kills Twitter birds, and possibly people with his crappy Tesla cars…he has dabbled into the perfume racket as well. Check this out:
