Flint has managed to increase the instances of gonorrhea 20% in just the last year alone!
While the STD is on the decline on a national level, here in Flint, the number of people with gonorrhea has gone up 20 percent since last year, and experts worry there are more cases out there among people that remain untreated.
“The national gonorrhea rate stabilized in 2000 after rising 9 percent from 1997-99, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported recently. But STDs rose in 2000 in 13 of the 20 cities with the highest rates.”
Does this corelate to the amount of strip clubs, the jobless rate, or the ethnic diversity? The world may never know. Regardless, Flint continues to disprove its detractors speculations that Flint can’t improve anything.
