California health officials are scrambling after tuberculosis exposures were confirmed at multiple schools as cases of the world’s deadliest infectious disease continue climbing across the state.
Fresno County officials confirmed a cluster at Justin Garza High School, where one active infection was found, though authorities did not specify whether the case involved a student or staff, according to ABC30.
Officials emphasized no one on campus is currently contagious, but 22 out of 169 people exposed have tested positive for the infection, though they show no symptoms yet.
Health officials are teaming up with the school for contact tracing and testing, urging anyone who feels unwell to stay home.
Symptoms of tuberculosis can include coughing up blood, a cough lasting more than three weeks, fatigue, and unintentional weight loss.
The bacterial disease, which typically attacks the lungs, appears in both active and latent forms.
Meanwhile, San Diego County officials announced Wednesday a potential TB exposure was also reported at Sunset Elementary School in San Ysidro.

Wow, TB is not just any infection. It takes months of advanced antibiotics. A stash of Cipro or Doxycillian isnt going to help if TB goes pandemic.
“”Consumption hits California? What’s next? Ague, grippe, dropsy, lumbago? I thought we got rid of these 1800s conditions.””

We did. But that was back before we got stupid enough to allow an ‘enemy within’ (The Democrat Party) to gain control of positions of power that allowed them to make really bad decisions and really bad laws that are destructive to the nation.
TB patients can vote for Democrats.
Don’t worry even though there are 200 cases, none of them is contagious. As far as students or staff, well it is mandatory to have a tuberculosis screening before you can be employed in a California public school and you have to be recertified every five years. The weakness in the screening system is that you can simply say you don’t have tuberculosis and they take your word for it.
In a related story, The People’s Republica of Kalifornia has ordered all school children be housed with the children already infected. A Kalifornia Apparatchik familiar with the situation stated that, in the name of equity, it would not be “fair” for only some of the children to contract the disease.

It is highly likely that this is “ordinary” TB, not one of the drug-resistant varieties. A slow moving disease, they first try out the simplest antibiotics, then wait and look for dead bacteria. If no luck, they try the next strongest antibiotic, then wait, etc.
There has only been one known outbreak of Totally DR TB, in India, and it had a 100% mortality rate.

Do you pass out after every performance? Totally worth it.
FR: Tuberculosis
Election year too.
San Ysidro is The Border..
20 miles East of The Ocean the terrain turns Stark,Mountains and canyons just Made for illegal Crossing all the Way to Yuma AZ .
TB is deadliest? I would have put my money on malaria.
I'm going to take a wild guess here but……Bill Gates? Anthony Fauci? The entire Democrat Party?
The Newscum disease.
Let's see; Democrat Party, Obama, Biden, Bush 1&2,
Democrat Party media, free traders (traitors), non-white
poor countries, Chinese Communist Party. The list is long.
I think it's partly due to the obvious fact that so many Democrats/Communists (now, Jihadists) are afflicted by the truly deadful, rational-mind-destroying affliction known as TDS. As the affliction advances inexorably to Stage 4 TDS, you can almost see their mind dissolve; the only redeeming factor being that they are then qualified to run for office on the Democrat/Communist (now, Jihadist) ticket.
