Right out of a Victorian novel. Think of TB outbreak at the Lowood School from “Jane Eyre” Who is patient zero?
The elected officials are rising up in their disgust and intend to throw out the ELECTORATE.
They mean to replace us.
The school reflects the area. 80% white, and 10% Hispanic.
Some Illegal Alien to than for it no doubt
They wouldn’t tell you if they knew even though it is your right to know.
would be more interesting to know how many Obama Illegal plants ended up in that area,Hummmm?
TB is pretty rare in the US so I would expect that “patient zero” is an immigrant from someplace ...these days from Mexico, Central America or possibly Africa places where TB is not uncommon. My wife was a school nurse and she had a similar case with a Bosnian refugee who had a positive TB test. Fortunately the refugee was not TB positive and had been vaccinated with a BCG vaccine in Europe to prevent TB. This vaccine gives a positive TB skin test. A neighboring school was not so lucky and had an active TB case. Students and teachers there with close contact had to take anti-TB medications for most of a year and the whole school had to be skin tested.
You can guarantee that it is either an illegal alien or someone who has had recent contact with one.
I have heard the TB strain found in these dairies has never been found in the U.S., and that it came from South America.:

We all know how that was likely to occur.
I’d be willing to bet that the TB came from mexico.
Liar.
He's a qualified public health official, and he expects an 8.5% tuberculosis infection rate in the flatlands west of Kansas City???
We need the demographics of the 27 positives, pronto.
Wow!
27 positives at Olathe HS
School District mobilizing for widespread testing
Kansas University one sick, full testing
County jails won’t disclose how many positives, testing going on
Websites turning off comments.
My granddaughter goes to school in this district. She’s in 8th grade and will be going to another Olathe HS but I wish that they would test the entire district. Her school is at least 10% hispanic, probably higher.
