I've read about it. TB is a pain because most people need to be on meds for a long time. Compliance is an especially big problem when most cases here are among illegals.
I agree with you SG about compliance when it comes to the illegals. The length of treatment is really a pain. A friend of ours contracted it about 12 or so years ago and it was a nightmare.
The source was traced back to a co-worker in the cafeteria of the college where they both worked. The cover-up of the outbreak was an absolute scandal that has not be publicized to this day. The college denied there were any cases, the cafeteria contractor denied it and even the Department of Health denied the sourc of the infection. Then DPH proceeded to make life a living hell for him, me, my husband, and a co-worker of mine. That came to an end when we had the lawyer we worked for at the time send a very strongly worded letter to them - along with the proof that both she and I were tested, by DPH, and found to be free of any infection.
Hey, they are just spreading the diseases Americans won't spread anymore.
