Just a wild guess here - Somali immigrant.
At present, they are the Obama regime’s most preferred method of kicking America in the groin.
For me TB was something one read about in Victorian Lit not the newspaper.
Welcome to the New World Order Disease Diversification Effort. CWII cannot come too soon.
My daughter is a teacher. They are making her get tested for TB regularly now. Thanks, open borders crowd!!
The only three things that should come after “TB” are Rays, Buccaneers, and Lightning.
It is a travesty that a disease we essentially eradicated from our shores has been brought again by a virulent people encouraged by a virulent President. January 20 is too far in the future; it must come quickly.
of course the student was an illegal or immigrant, given free pass to pass along all his infections to the kindly people in Omaha.
our lives change with bigger demands because we allow the infected to wander around like they own the place...
Foreigners, either legal “refugees” or illegal aliens, are bringing back diseases we had eradicated and introducing new ones we had not seen before.
It’s past time to stop the inundation from the third world.
In my grandparent’s generation (they and their siblings) 5 out of 23 died of TB.
“Progressive” policies taking us backwards.
Most likely get put into Nebraska Medcenter where they took the Ebola patients. Can anyone verify that’s where he/she is being treated?
One of the primary reasons for Ellis Island was to quarantine all immigrants until they could be verified to be disease free and not a potential burden to the public treasury. Those that didn’t pass inspection were sent back from where they came. We need a return to that kind of sanity. Immigration isn’t a right, it’s a privilege.
exposing all these people requires testing them all, possible follow up chest xrays, dr visits etc....
I remember in the old days reading about how Australia would not allow anyone into their country with certain diseases...
but the good old USA....just come on down folks!

Then that means he/she is...................
TB was real in The South on up until the 60’s and 70’s. We had TB shots in schools..............
IIRC, it was called ‘Consumption’ back in those days..............
When I was a kid I got tested every time I went to a new school. I imagine in Obamanation transferring from El Salvador to Omaha doesn’t qualify for testing.
One individual at a middle school and a daycare center in my state caused nearly 400 children and staff to be tested, and 16 had positive skin tests. Not only is the treatment costly and lengthy, but our health dept requires a health care worker observe the individual taking the medicine, since they can’t be trusted to do that simple task on their own.
