State Declares Public Health Emergency After Tuberculosis Outbreak: 1 Dead, 14 Infections Confirmed – 170 Likely Exposed

A public health emergency has been declared in Long Beach, California, due to a tuberculosis outbreak.

A declaration from Dr. Anissa Davis, Long Beach’s health officer, said one person has died and nine people have been hospitalized, according to Live Science.

Fourteen people with active TB had been identified as of April 29. All cases have been linked to a single-room-occupancy hotel. Officials are not naming the hotel in what they said was an effort to protect patients’ privacy.

“People who were staying at the hotel at the time or could have otherwise been exposed have been or will be contacted by the Health Department,” a Health Department statement said.

“Why this city has declared a public health emergency”

Lack of medical screening for immigrants – they’re bringing in a wave of diseases we eradicated decades ago.

“Through the course of this investigation, staff have identified approximately 170 people who have likely been exposed to TB,” the statement said.

The emergency declaration, which was issued Thursday, is expected to be ratified by the Long Beach City Council on Tuesday, according to Newsweek.

The declaration allows the Health Department to take expanded intervention efforts.

Right. Tuberculosis, and many other diseases Americans thought were gone from this country.

A hundred years ago, immigrants entering the United States were examined by doctors at entry points like Ellis Island. Any sign of disease, and back on the boat you went.

I guess such medical examinations are now considered racist.

Bad times are ahead.

Where did the TB come from? this makes no sense. We live in a modern world. And dont go blaming refugees! oh no, it probably came from people visiting here from florida - Quote from a Mark Hamil. 🤣

The Biden junta’s plan to convert the United States in to a third world dictatorship is really coming along nicely

TB carried by illegal amigos? One might think that in addition to countries emptying out their prisons and mental institutions they are also ending their criticcally ill folks. Another Biden success story.

Exactly what the Left told them to think.

All of these nice friendly, healthy people from the third world would come here bringing their great culture would come here and enrich our nation with their wonderful values.

Wilcow on Siruis XM used to say that 'you can only bring so many from there to here without turning here in to there'.
