illegals have been bringing TB into the country for YEARS
It is almost exclusively “regular” TB, which is different from DR, drug resistant; VDR, very drug resistant; XDR, extremely drug resistant; and CDR, completely drug resistant.
Regular TB, when treated, has low mortality. There have only been two outbreaks of CDR, both in India, and both with 100% mortality.
TB is a slow moving disease, and can take months for symptoms to develop. Likewise, it takes months, even more than a year, to treat it.
