Baltimore firefighters have evacuated two medical research buildings due to possible tuberculosis contamination.

Officials did not say how it might have been released.

DANG!

After a group run, one of the young women on the run told me that she was working in one of the buildings when the incident happened. I will let you know if I drop dead in the near future.

Wait what? What were they doing with a tube of that stuff anyway? Aren’t we supposed to be killing that germ or something?

You know how it is. When we think we have beaten something microscopic, we become complacent. We don’t even get TB-tested during physical exams anymore. Given the influx of illegal immigrants into Western countries, I think that should be re-established.

I’m still waiting for the next outbreak of smallpox, which we supposedly eradicated worldwide, except for a handful of lab samples.

Big F-ing deal.

We have living walking TB vectors coming across our border every day. Not to mention the “Refugees” being flown in.

That is one of the most inane comments I have ever seen on FR.

A FICTIONAL depiction of what happened.

The last thing the Morning Nurse remembers is being handed a tiny vial of clear fluid. Then her cell phone vibrated and made her jump in surprise releasing her grip on the vial. Somebody behind her yelled “Oh Sh*t!”
And then everything went black.

But walking into the USA WITH TB is perfectly fine with RATS.

I always make sure my tubes of Tuberculosis remain tightly sealed so this sort of thing doesn’t happen.

Likewise with my anthrax and Sarin.

Ha ha. But don’t worry. You usually need frequent exposure to a person who has it. And even if you test positive, it can be knocked out. The danger is the antibiotic-resistant kind. Hope it wasn’t that in the test tube. Have a nice day.
