....about the new TB outbreak here in the US? Supposedly that crap was wiped out in the US already and now its back. According to the news they have 2 ppl quarantined in Alabama (i think) and there was a kid here from Texas that was takin to Denver?? yea, need to watch the news on it more. They arent really making a big deal about it but i think it is a big deal. A disease that was wiped out just all of a sudden coming back? And one case flew in from Africa to Canada, and drove to New York where he was takin in. Hmm alot of friends a family think thats germ war-fare.
 
it has never been eliminated lol, it may have been taken out of USA but its not that hard for an infected person to fly into USA and infect somebody else. i think TB is pretty contageous?
 
Yea thats what i was saying. It was eliminated here in the US and anybody with it trying to fly in would have to be treated first then try again. And the one guy flew into Canada and drove a rental car here and when they cought him he had some BS excuse. Also, kinda wierd how a kid here in the Dallas area just randomly gets it when nobody around him has it. You can only guess what ethinic class he is :/ And supposedly its deadly if not treated.
 
Wow are you kidding? Spitting? But yea, you gotta realize, nobody is taking any of this seriously. How can a disease just show up randomly in 2 different areas of the states at the same time thats been cleared up for years. Gotta think about it for a second.
 
Bunch of different ppl i talk to about this kinda stuff says it sounds like a light case (or the start) of a type of germ warfare. If it was something else and not connected at all then yea conincidence, but not this.
 
As I understand it. TB is not a common disease for us as it is stopped due to vacinations. It does cause deaths in 3rd world countries but we have more advanced medicine to combat TB.
 
Yea we do, but the point is i find it kinda wierd a random sand guy flys to Canada, drives a rental car to New York and gets cought with a BS excuse. (Sorry for sand guy term)

And then a disease thats been killed in the US starts sprouting up. Come on he went from Canada to New York and a kid at the school my sister works at gets quarantined as well around the same time which is on the other side of the country (sorta). Its the "we'll wait till we see something" attitude thats getting us nowhere in this country. Im usualy the guy saying, your to paranoid, forget it. But right now, nah ive seen to much already thats making it look like were going to get secretly attacked on our land while were not paying attention.
 
My guess that it would be something such as a recent appearance of this because of the news of the person sneaking in, or maybe the conditions were right this year to make it more common or transmissible.
 
The TB may not of come from person - person transfer, cattle carry TB along with other animals. In the UK badgers are blamed for carrying the virus and passing it on to cattle herds.

WHO say that 1/3 of the world population carry the bacterium with 1 in 10 developing TB.
 
I hightly doubt that TB was 100% stopped in america.

It is quoted, that over a third of the worlds population carry the TB bacterium within their blood stream, but only a small percentage of them are ill.
 
Lol I can imagine a Taliban going to the USA. Finds a random guy *sneezes*, "Take that! Now you have my cold." and runs off!
 
if it was germ warfare, they wouldnt choose TB mate.
In a situation like this its very possible. Think about it, its curable to ppl who have the money. But you get all the poor folk sick with it and then you got like half the population dien cause they cant do anything about it. And doing what the one guy did its very possible to get alot of the virus into the states. Especialy since they arent really doing anything about it.

It would be alot easier to do something like that on the DL then to get something extremely deadly in like Anthrax which obviously didnt happen.
