Woman from India Being Treated in U.S. for ‘Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis’....June 9,2015
Landed here April 4th
The patient will not be charged for her treatment as she is at NHI .... “Even if patients are citizens of other countries, Dr. Fauci said, their governments are not billed....the woman’s treatment would be expensive, given the long stay and costly drugs needed, but that he could not even begin to estimate the ultimate cost.”
Tests at a hospital in Illinois showed extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, or XDR-TB.
“This person is looking at ‘a very long course of careful treatment and observation,” Dr. Fauci said.
She has no contact with other patients, and doctors and nurses who treat her must wear gloves, gowns, eye protection and specially fitted masks called N-95 respirators.
Even though they take every precaution, health workers who treat TB patients are usually tested for the disease once a year, Dr. Fauci said.

Something must be up for that many students to pass a test.
Thanks for the ping. In the article there was a hypertext link to this story with a 3 minute video - general info

hey its not a disease, its a pathogen based disability and therefore its protected under the Americans with disabilities act. It should be celebrated, we need to prove our openness and diversity. Don’t be such a closed mined bigot. or something
I’m well aware of that. I’m an RN.
Once someone has HIV they are prone to infections, bacterial and virus. They have a weakened immune system.
About 10-15 million Americans are infected with tuberculosis. For most people with healthy immune systems, this is not a problem. Nine out of 10 of them won’t develop active disease with symptoms.
The risk is great, however, for people who are HIV-positive. That’s because tuberculosis takes advantage of a weakened immune system, which is why it’s called an opportunistic infection. Worldwide, tuberculosis is the leading cause of death for people infected with HIV (human immunodeficiency syndrome).
Yep. That’s part of social justice.
It just isn’t fair that we’re all so healthy and disease free in this country and to top it off, that our worst health issues are heart-related due to being obese.
Nope, the fundamental transformation of America can’t tolerate that.
Gotta bring back some of those old third-world diseases we had licked (TB, whooping cough, etc.).
And at the other end (no pun intended) the homonazis are doing a damned good job at bringing back the STDs that had started to decline over the past 20 years.
I guess Obammie the Commie gets a warm and fuzzy feeling seeing good ol’ syphilis making a comeback.
Watch and wait for the state-run media to bury this story.
Can’t have a pesky little detail like drug-resistant TB interfering with the H1B and other on-shore, off-shoring programs the current batch of traitors are cramming down our throats.
What a mess this nation has become.
Just another example of how the United States has become a more inclusive and diverse country.
Under Obama the United States is ready to step up and welcome a more diverse selection of impoverished and deadly disease carrying illegal immigrant population.
Thank you Obamagratoin
He caved to the free needle crowd just like he did the Gaystapo.
According to a prosecutor from southern IN, they are just trading the needles for more drugs, since the ones provided are too small of a gauge for the thicker Opana (oxymorphone)that seems to be quite available there.
Thanks!
...”Can’t have a pesky little detail like ‘drug-resistant’ TB interfering with the H1B and other on-shore, off-shoring programs the current batch of traitors are cramming down our throats”......
There is sooo much risk now for diseases in our country.....frightening!....I so feel for the next generations ..if we last that long!
You know Metmom this nation is “retreating” where we once use to fight and stand our ground as a nation.....We retreated from the public schools....we’ve retreated on abortion...sexual issues...and the lists go on and on...
I get that same sense, caww.
Where is the outrage and outcry, from those who love this country, against what is going on at breakneck speed?
Thanks for the ping!
I live in Vegas and areas where I used to shop not long ago are now all Hispanic speaking people. Will not go to those areas anymore.
...”Where is the outrage and outcry, from those who love this country, against what is going on at breakneck speed?”....
Helplessly silent for the most part....there is no counter ‘leadership’ to move the masses Jane. Unless they’re held up in some underground bunker somewhere planning their move to rise at the right moment??? In that case they’re going to let things ride for a time.
I ‘always’ have in the back of my head when Cruz said way back when...”The people of America don’t realize how close we are to taking back our country”.... That statement stuck so firm in my head and heart that I haven’t shaken it after all this time.
Additionally Remember this?

“Now, if that gets loose in the HIV crowd, it will be a real mess.”
If THAT happens, libs everywhere will go apesh*t for the “cause”. They’ll have rock concerts, fund raisers, make commercials, comic relief, etc. It’ll be everywhere that we have to do something about this now. Until then, no one will give a flying rip.
