“We identified 141 patients who came into close enough contact with these workers so that there is any possibility at all of potential exposure to TB,” he adds.

“We are contacting each of these patients. At this point we have no evidence that any of these patients have actually contracted TB,” Kanihan says.

Allina Health did not clarify whether the hospital workers diagnosed with active TB were physicians, nurses, medical assistants, or other support staff.

Last year, a local newspaper reported that three employees of the Fridley Clinic, also owned by Allina Health and within ten miles of the two hospitals where the workers were diagnosed with active TB, received awards from Anoka County, the fourth most populous county in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, for their volunteer work medically screening refugees.

Workers at 2 Minnesota Hospitals Diagnosed with Active TB, 141 Patients ‘May Have Been Exposed’

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring in refugees and immigrants with active TB, and America is no longer free of tuberculosis like it once was.

Barky’s America. Dubya’s America.

Serving the interests of foreigners first.

[Diogenesis]

This is outrageous and predicted.

The incurable are being Quartered by the DH”S”
and there is no one speaking up in the “US” Congress.
NO ONE.

“Luckily”, the EXEMPT will have continue to be EXEMPT
and have their own Kennedy-level of care, taken
by helicopters to whereever they need, as the
rest of America has no functional healthcare at all.

Somalis or Syirans the source?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Hospitals are going to be ground zero for illegal-alien induced epidemics.

[Steely Tom]

Here’s a story that’ll be going in the memory hole.

[Nifster]

I would put money on the workers being aides or housekeeping and most likely Somali refugees

[Joe Brower]

This is a direct consequence of our decades-old acquiescence to the millions of illegal aliens we have allowed in from Mexico and points further south.

Almost twenty years ago I hired a contractor to help me build a backyard shed in San Diego. His helper, a middle-aged Mexican man, was nice enough, and skilled, but was coughing up blood on occasion. The problem was obvious.

I told the contractor to either get rid of him or he loses the job. The next day, he came alone.

Illegal aliens bringing third-world diseases to a first world (for now) country.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Gone are the days....

[PGR88]

$100 bet they were somali-born cleaners roaming the hospital in their duties

[teletech]

Trump was right again!

[Bon mots]

Right from Somalia to your doorstep!

[uncbob]

Trump needs to make a big issue out of the diseases the illegals and legals( that Obama Obama is bringing in ) have

Better believe that it will resonate with the voters

Add in the crimes they commit and he has a winning issue

[Son House]

Remember when Sandy Berger was a Kerry Advisor? Media should ask Kerry if this fits in his previous (before Sox-gate) definition of 'treated from the widest possible range of attacks' as it is likely from a foreign source and very well could have been instigated by an enemy of our country.

2. A National Homeland Health Initiative. America’s public health system has risen to important challenges before, but it lacks the advances necessary to detect or contain a major outbreak. John Kerry believes we must connect the nation’s public health systems with a real time detection system to pool patient data across the country. This initiative would also provide training in developing plans for a surge in patients. We also need to increase research – and bring together the best of the public and private sectors to develop broad-spectrum designer antidotes so that our first responders and our population can be protected and treated from the widest possible range of attacks.
