Hello Jeff - Here are the case numbers for HAV for WVa  One state has thousands of cases.  Ky also very hard hit  last year and this year.  Wonder why?  Illegals, feces in the streets, yeah that could have a lot to do with the rise in AMERICANS GETTING THIS DISEASE.  I should say DISEASES WITH AN S   All sorts of foreign diseases but then again we said this would happen.

Jeff, notice the States that have HAV on the bottom of the report and the huge case numbers.  We did not see this prior to the influx of UN refugees and illegals,  Now Americans are getting Hepatitis A and Chagas in large numbers across the US.

Since March 2018, the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health has reported an increase in the number of confirmed cases of acute hepatitis A virus. This increase in cases has primarily been among injection and non-injection drug users, homeless or mobile individuals, and those who have been recently incarcerated. Viral sequencing has linked cases from Kentucky and California.
