Colorado Increases Number of Refugees Diagnosed With Active TB to Sixteen
breitbart ^ | 12 Jul 2016 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 07/12/2016 7:08:51 AM PDT by Tilted Irish Kilt

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment admits that sixteen refugees were diagnosed with active TB between 2011 and 2014.

The admission comes one month after Breitbart News reported ten recently arrived refugees in Colorado were diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB). Between 2011 and 2014, 16 out of 7,754 refugees were diagnosed with active TB at the time of their initial medical screening.

That’s one out of every 484 arriving refugees.

During that same time period, 67 out of the state’s estimated 4.5 million U.S.-born residents were diagnosed with active TB.

That’s one out of every 67,164 U.S.-born residents of Colorado.

KEYWORDS: activetb; colorado; immigrant
Refugees resettled in Colorado developed active TB at a rate 138 times higher than U.S.-born residents of Colorado.

The number of refugees resettled in Colorado between 2011 and 2015 diagnosed with active TB may actually be higher than sixteen, since the most recent total does not include any refugees who may have been diagnosed in 2015.

138 time higher than American born residents of Colorado?
Is it possible they contracted it in the shitholes they are longing to change Colorado into?

That is too bad. I think JCRS is now a shopping center. So now help there.

Is TB Making a Comback?

Excerpt...

Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia also reported more active TB cases last year than in 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in March.

After two decades of steady decline, the number of active tuberculosis cases in the U.S. inched up last year. Hall’s was one of 9,563 TB cases reported last year, up from 9,406 cases the year before.

The CDC is still trying to determine the reason for the uptick.

(Could the reason be the influx of illegal immigrants and refugees into the US?)

I find it frustrating to realize that we have this influx of TB, and other exotic and foreign diseases occurring coincidentally to the age of superbugs and drug resistant diseases.
This is commonly called the passing of the 'Golden Age of Antibiotics':

It's a small price to pay to get good lettuce pickers. Oh, wait. These people don't pick lettuce or even need to get a job. They qualify for life for welfare. Never mind.

Is America a GREAT country, or what!!??
