The cases at the school and bars triggered fear and hundreds of screenings, and public health officials say it's a trend they're closely watching, particularly because San Francisco continues to have the highest rate of TB of any metro area in the country.

[dynachrome]

Which kind of bars? Hmmmmmm?

[dynachrome]

Public health workers launched an aggressive screening campaign among a dozen bars in the Castro and South of Market neighborhoods. Altogether 237 bar employees were screened - 4 percent were positive.

Might it have something to do with their open arms embrace of illegals??

[dynachrome]

embrace of illegals??

That too. “The Castro” is the biggest gay ‘hood if IIRC.

I don’t imagine their status as sanctuary city and gay central has anything to do with it

“San Francisco continues to have the highest rate of TB of any metro area in the country”

Maybe this ‘sanctuary city’ crap isn’t such a bad idea afterall...

Homosexuals, out of control legal and illegal immigration
from primitive third world counties, AIDS, drug use, unhealthy lifestyles --------------> TB.

Counties should be countries. But then again many California counties are starting look like primitive third world counties.

No mystery here.

First, The weather on the San Francisco peninsula has been promoting TB since the dawn of time. The Mission Delores was a failure because TB laid low many of the indigenous peoples designated to work the mission farms.

Secound, HIV is an open invitation for TB to take up residence. The correlation, worldwide, is indisputable. Those with AIDS on the peninsula will soon host TB.
