I just ran across an article that was discussing whether or not a WuFlu infection could set off latent TB.
Also, why is it teachers unions never have a kitten about TB in the classroom...?
In the old days, a TB test was mandated for teachers (at least in the district where I worked) every four years.
Any new enrollees from a foreign country were mandated to have a TB test as well.
All of this has changed.
Last time I went for my TB test, about three years ago, after receiving notice, I was told by Kaiser that they no longer tested for TB - I was asked three questions and signed off.
A nurse I trust told me she was mandated to take a TB test every year as a condition of employment. This stopped when the test itself was linked to gut cancers.
Now, no TB test is mandated for students OR teachers. I was told if the test is mandated for students, the school district must pay for it and THAT is the reason students are no longer tested. TB is not a condition of exclusion in the schools. I’m sure it’s been coughed in my face, given how many immigrants are pouring in.
It is absolutely scandalous that the teachers’ unions go along with immigrants entering classrooms without having had any sort of health screening, exposing their members to all sorts of 3rd world diseases - a doctor told me scabies is very common among teachers now, brought in by the 3rd world.
But then the union has never, ever cared about teachers, only its power and political actions.
