Health officials working TB cases in Jefferson, Morgan counties
Too bad about all that contaminated food from China...
Thanks. You have answered most of my questions.
I would think a TB test would be required of all food care workers. It is an inexpensive test. Usually around $15.00.
Even though the TB bacteria may not be transmitted via food, it stands to reason when a sick person is coughing that TB may not be the only germ he or she is coughing out. That other germ could be transmitted. We don’t need infected people working with food.
Didn’t know if you’d seen this, Liz.
Disgusting..............heard some invaders even have leporosy.
Wayne Farms can't plead ignorance.

But the TB issue is bad enough.
No.
You can deport them, but they will likely come back. If they come back and develope the disease, they will infect many others. They will not seek treatment, because they do not want to be deported again.
No, the US is not the world medical provider, but if we do not treat those who are here, they will make the rest of us sick.
Deporting them would be an answer if the borders were secure, but they aren’t. Deporting them now, without medical treatment, will put many American citizens at risk. Same thing with the criminals. We can deport them, and they will come back and commit the same crimes again, or we can pay to lock them up, so that we are protected.
It all comes down to controlling our borders.
No they sure can't. It looks like that "cater" to the illegals. They had to know they were illegal if they put them in the naturalization program. So they just lied about the pilot program.
See Post 91
They are not “my immigrants” and I do not have the ability to verify whether they are legal or not. I would suspect some are and some aren’t.
Immigrants come here and generally live in close quarters with other immigrants. The poor neighborhoods they live in are prime conditions for the transmission of TB and lots of other IDs. It only takes one infected illegal in these conditions to infect several others, so it isn’t just the illegals that are at risk for these diseases. Everyone who comes into contact with the infected individual is at risk, and the transmission rate for active TB is around 25-30%. Sorry, but this isn’t just an illegals problem. It becomes a problem for all of us.
what is there to talk about, they hired juan, who brought in jorge, who brought maria, who brought jose. no need to show drivers licenses or social security numbers, and we pay you 3.00 an hour. next we lay off all of the american legally employed employees, and save boodles of money.
downside, we give everybody an INCURABLE disease, cause this TB is not treatable with antibiotics.
Makes me want to run out and get some not marked origin chicken between the chinese chicken out there and the locally produced. Sheesh

Heck I was thinking Decatur, Georgia. Shows you how carefully I read.
“Few things are obvious to me, except things which turn out later not to be true.”
That is a great statement. Do you mind if I borrow it?
Well thank you "johnny come lately", there is a whole lot of people here that have been saying that for a long time.
“The illegals are transforming this beautiful, clean and healthy country into a barn or worse, a pigsty.”
That’s a fact. We can lay a great deal of the blame on our political leaders, for they have allowed — hell, they have ENCOURAGED — this to happen.
Destiny: Texas and Florida will consistantly be blue in a decade or so.
Don’t like it, but that’s what us pubs get for being so lazy on this issue.
