California farm company identified as possible cyclosporiasis outbreak source: Reports

16. It's not a farm -- they package and distribute produce, contracting with various growers.

I'm guessing they'll track this down to a specific field and investigate what went wrong.

Farm sanitation rules are strict and taken seriously by growers and farm workers. Otherwise incidents like this would be much more frequent.

This may or may not have anything to do with it, but one of the things that concerns me about California is the high population of homeless people living by rivers and streams.

We are a wealthy nation. It is a moral failure of us as a people that we cannot provide safe and secure housing for everyone.

"Get a job!" is not the answer. Someone living under a bridge down by the river is unemployable. Maybe they will always be unemployable. But you can't really know what their issues are until they've got a place to live.
