Coming to a hospital near you from the land south of the border.
It’s going to be a real joy cleaning up after this mess. My guess is that the hospital bills will run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. And those who bring it into our country aren’t going to have insurance and aren’t going to pay a dime for their care.
Thankfully TB is really only that devestating to the immunocompromised. That doesn’t mean this isn’t going to be a royal mess to clean up.
