Hey CNN how about a story mentioning the men spreading STIs?

Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle/Getty ImagesCNN — 

The Houston Health Department has reported a syphilis outbreak, with an increase of 128% among women in the city, and a ninefold increase in congenital cases in Houston and the surrounding Harris County area since 2019.

Rates of congenital syphilis are skyrocketing in the US. Here's why

Health officials announced the outbreak in a Thursday news release.

According to the department, new infections rose by 57% from 2019 to 2022. There were 2,905 new infections in 2022, compared to 1,845 new infections in 2019.

There were 674 cases among women in 2022, a steep increase from 295 cases in 2019, according to the release. And there were 151 cases of congenital syphilis in 2021, the latest year for which statistics are available, compared to just 16 cases in 2016.

Congenital syphilis happens when a pregnant person passes the bacterial infection to their baby in the womb. Untreated congenital syphilis can lead to stillbirth or damage the baby’s organs or bones.

“It is crucial for pregnant women to seek prenatal care and syphilis testing to protect themselves from an infection that could result in the deaths of their babies,” said Marlene McNeese Ward, deputy assistant director in the Houston Health department’s Bureau of HIV/STI and Viral Hepatitis Prevention, in the news release. “A pregnant woman needs to get tested for syphilis three times during her pregnancy.”

Pregnant women should be tested for syphilis at their initial prenatal visit, during the third trimester, and at delivery, according to the release.

The health department is waiving all clinical fees for sexually transmitted infections at its health centers, according to the release.

Additionally, the department “will expand the use of its HIV/STD mobile clinic to increase the number of community screening sites and set up in areas considered hot spots, selected from disease monitoring and case management data,” the release said.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection commonly spread through sexual contact. The disease usually starts with a painless sore on the genitals or mouth – direct contact with the sores spreads the infection.

When it’s caught early on, syphilis is easily treatable with antibiotics. But without treatment, the infection can lie dormant in the body for years or even decades before attacking the brain, nerves, eyes, and other organs. It can cause deafness, blindness, and death.

Congenital syphilis has skyrocketed across the US, particularly in the South and Southwest. Infections in newborns have risen about 700% across the country over the past decade, a CDC official previously told CNN. Experts attributed the rise to a combination of factors including lack of public funding for sexual health programs, a shortage of qualified personnel, and uneven coverage for screening by Medicaid.

Because syphilis in its early stages may not have obvious symptoms, pregnant people and their health care providers might not notice it or screen for it at all.

Dear Texans,

Can any of you explain what the bloody hell is going on with Governor Abbott exporting immigrants to NYC?

Mayor Adams is pissed. Our governor likely has opinions but is a bit busy managing three public health crisises.

So for those unaware, Governor Abbott has decided putting undocumented immigrants on buses and shipping them off to NYC (an over 24 hour straight drive) was a great idea and keeps doing it.

Can you all vote out your terrible governor?

When I saw the news about Malika Andrews and Taylor Rooks earlier this week, I was hurt. My black brothers was hurt and going through it on social media. I slid down the wall in my crib. And all I could think about was this Nas song. 😂

A few weeks ago, Wale released More About Nothing on streams. And one of the things I’ve talked about was clearing samples and the difficulty doing so with old mixtapes. So when the fans noticed that The Trip (Downtown) wasn’t on the stream version of More About Nothing, we was upset. But Wale quietly got the song cleared and put it out last night as a surprise. So now we can properly enjoy The Trip (Downtown) and The Ambitious Girl back-to-back, as it’s suppose to be consumed. I hope it ends up on the vinyl version of this mixtape, because I’ve brought a copy.

Here's why the "good guy with a gun" argument is dogshit:

A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, on Tuesday declined to indict a man who allegedly killed 9-year-old Arlene Alvarez while shooting at an armed robber in February, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said.

"I just want to tell the family how saddened we are," Ogg said. "We don't have the luxury of disagreeing with the jury's verdict, with the grand jury's determination. But we have the ability to move forward and to catch the person who they've indicated is criminally responsible."

The killing happened February 14 at about 9:30 p.m. when Tony Earls and his wife drove to a drive-thru ATM to deposit some cash and a check, according to the district attorney's office. A man then ran up and put a gun in the wife's face and demanded their money, car keys and her wallet, the prosecutor's office said.

The couple initially complied with the robber, handing over the check, cash and wallet, before the robber started to run away, the office said. Earls, who stepped out of the vehicle, said he heard gunshots and believed he was being shot at, so he shot at the robber, the office said.

However, he ended up striking a truck that happened to be driving by at the same time, killing 9-year-old Arlene Alvarez in the backseat, the district attorney's office said.

The girl's parents, Armando and Gwen Alvarez, told CNN affiliate KHOU in February that the family was driving to a Houston restaurant for Valentine's Day dinner when Arlene was shot in the head.

"I immediately stopped, pulled her out of the vehicle," Armando Alvarez said. "I hope nobody ever has to go through this."

The robbery suspect, who remains at large, will face felony murder charges in the killing, Ogg said. A $30,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his capture.

"We're going to focus on catching the robbery suspect who started this chain of events," she said. "I know we can find this killer with your help. Someone knows who he is."

Arlene's aunt, April Aguirre, lamented the lack of charges at a joint news conference with Ogg on Tuesday.

"I wish it was Tony Earls who was found guilty, but I know that the decision is final with the grand jury," she said. "I pray that we can find this person and bring him to justice, because Arlene didn't want to die. She didn't want to die on a Monday night, on her way to dinner."

She called on the public to turn in the robbery suspect.

"I want somebody held accountable, because this family shouldn't continue to suffer like this. This is unexplainable pain," she said. "Gwen and Armando and the rest of the Alvarez family deserves to have their little girl. She didn't deserve this ending."

CNN has reached out to Earls' attorneys Brennen Dunn and Myrecia Donaldson for comment.

I’m going to flip my shit if a congressional hearing on Uvalde blames a teacher.

Nobody that has worked in buildings with slam-bar doors should be shocked if that door in Uvalde had been ajar. Doors we used everyday in a fairly new retail building were in shit condition after a couple years. Doors we never used (emergency exits) were in shit condition because the parts fused.

We could never get a work order through unless it absolutely could not close. Manager wouldn’t bother with the fire exits because it we somehow got them open, they probably wouldn’t close and we’d need an (expensive) emergency repair job while an alarm was blaring.

Now imagine an overworked underpaid teacher allocating mental space to the integrity of a door, in a public building that probably hasn’t seen an overhaul since it was built, in a state that can barely keep the lights on in bad weather.

Not one politician, cop, media commentator has any right to give side eye to a teacher in that school.

According to Pew Research from April last year, 53% of Americans favor stricter gun control laws, though those policy perspectives are shaped by age, race, major party affiliation and gun ownership. Three in 10 Americans own guns and they tend to be White, male and Republican. Rural residents favor more access to guns and those who live in cities prefer more restrictions. While a majority of Americans believe in common sense gun control, the will of the people has been hijacked by the NRA's enormous power, whose influence over the Republican Party (and some conservative Democrats) is near absolute. Politicians, such as Utah senator and former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, have expressed grief over the children lost in Uvalde in one breath, while simultaneously accepting money and support from the NRA in the other.
