LYNN, Mass. — More than 30 Lynn Community Health Center employees and 800 patients are being tested to determine if they were exposed to tuberculosis after center doctors confirmed a case.

Trying to gin up some sympathy for the M*ssholes, but not having much success.
I had atypical TB 40 years ago. No fun! They locked me in a TB ward at Milwaukee General. They finally stuck a tube down my gullet, and went into my right lung and took a sample, realized it was atypical, most lilely from gardening, and that I was not contagious. Took meds for over a year. And I’d lost abdo-lutely everything I had whilst I was locked up. Different kinda TB!
Increasing our treasured diversity.
When you consider the people affected might even be conservatives behind the lines, so to speak, I can pull it off. Just because someone is hoist on their own petard, doesn’t mean the manufacturer of the problem was the one who caught it. Most likely, the people who cast the votes and made the decisions which may have created the situation will not be exposed.
Meanwhile...LOW turn-out for today’s primary in neighboring soviet Red Hampshire...guess the people there are down with their current overseers.
My wife had a near miss on mass TB testing when she was a school nurse. A Bosnian refugee student in her school had a positive reaction to a TB skin test. It took a lot of work with interpreters to convince the kid’s parents to allow a chest X-ray. Fortunately his chest X-ray was negative and it turns out that he was immunized at a refugee camp with a BCG TB vaccine which would give him a permanent positive reaction to a TB skin test. Another area school was not so lucky and had to do mass TB screenings and several students and faculty were required to take anti-TB medications for a year. Coming soon to your local schools thanks to Obama.
When I was in grade school (and even later) all the kids were routinely tested for TB.
I remember being lined up for that, in kinder or 1st, IIRC.
The Jews that fled Nazi Germany made out much better than the Jews who procrastinated...
I believe the terms the MSM used were “waves of unaccompanied children” (descended on Lynn).
Looks like something was accompanying them after all.
And Lynn’s mayor is a woman, attorney and former school board member? Nice job mare.
In the past two years, Lynn has seen waves of unaccompanied minors settle here after crossing the U.S.-Mexican border illegally, city officials say. Most are teenage boys from Guatemala who speak little or no English when they arrive, and they have little or no documentation.
“We have become a major haven for immigration,” said Mayor Judy Kennedy. “But with all these new people come needs: police, fire and city services. And we’re getting no help from the federal government.”a>
We got the test every couple of years.
I saw the Lynn Mayor on FOX. She was very frustrated with the influx of kids but apologetic and very politically correct. Progressives are sick in many ways.
Thanks for that, Joe.

Lynn, Lynn,
The city of sin
You never get out
the way you went in. (Classic ditty about Lynn, MA)
I had a gig once in which the Mayor of Lynn was launching a new billboard campaign called “Lynn, Lynn, the city of PRIDE”. He asked me what I thought of the billboards.
I said that “PRIDE” was the deadliest sin of all.
He replied “Smartass!”
LOL...I never heard the complete, unredacted, original of this “classic ode”.
Another festering cesspit!
Another Undocumented Bug!
keep voting democrat, massholes...
