I would suggest that all legal citizens NOT enter any emergency room that is flooded with illegals.
Last week, it was stated that in Arizona, there is a rise in whooping cough cases. Who knows what else these people bring with them, TB maybe?
We're better off staying away from those places.
However, it peeves me to no end that they come over here and we have to pay for them.
LAUSD school nurses having been quietly treating rising cases of TB in Los Angeles for the past ten years...there is no disease screening anymore at the border
Yep. According to this article:
"Exposure of emergency department personnel to tuberculosis: PPD testing during an epidemic in the community." Ann Emerg Med 1994 Sep;24(3):418-21 Sokolove PE; Mackey D; Wiles J; Lewis RJ UCLA School of Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine.
ERs had so many people with TB in 1992/1993 that 40% of ER workers will turn PPD positive (i.e. are presumed to have been exposed to TB) after 60 months working in the ER. Yeah, I know that's from 10 years ago, but the TB epidemic at Harbor-UCLA 10 years ago is likely to be similar to the TB epidemic at other ERs today.
