If there's anything the world doesn't need this year it's another disease outbreak. Unfortunately, doctors in Denver, Colorado, have confirmed four cases of a rare World War I disease: trench fever.

The rare condition is transmitted through body lice, and in this day and age typically target homeless people or those who aren't able to wash themselves or their clothes and linens often. In Denver, the four cases come from homeless people.

An outbreak

"Two is always an outbreak, and then when we found a third—OK, we clearly have something going on," said Dr. Michelle Barron, a medical director of infection prevention and control at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.

Barron received the call last month that confirmed a third person had contracted the rare World War I disease in Denver, which was followed by a fourth confirmed case.

3. Man, America is just so great again!

We can't even keep our own citizens from getting trench fever. Wait until we start getting relief supplies from the poorest nations on the planet. We'll be even greater then.

It just gets better and better.
