In the view of liberals, to address an epidemic is to pass judgment. They don't view it as addressing a problem.
TB even if you take the medications and get the all clear a year later from the doctor is with you for life. Inactive TB basically TB that has been treated and is no longer contagious {in remission} & can become active {contagious again} at any time and lots of cases of that happening even among the earlier strains. The second nursing home I worked at did have a patient test positive. So did a healthcare worker.
The generation that remembers epidemics like TB, Polio, the Asian Flu which took my grandmothers first husband in the early 1900's is nearly gone.
I went to school with Polio survivors in the early 1970's & they were older than me.
Our nation to deal with these epidemics used some health laws many today likely don't realize. TB diagnose meant likely involuntary hospitalization in a TB sanatorium for up to a year. Choice? You didn't have one. My mom's sister and her husband watched their son die from Polio. I remember taking the cube and the shot. I was born in 1957. My aunt my moms sister she never got to meet died of meningitis. Then there was Scarlet Fever, Whooping Cough, Small Pox, and more. Our nation put together health laws and policies to eradicate and prevent the contacting and spreading of these killers.
Look at the average age of reporters today. They don't have a clue. Look at the average age of members of the house and sensate. Most are old enough to have seen at least part of these epidemics and the horrors they cause.
The inaction by POTUS, Congress, and CDC as well as the farce DHS to act and immediately remove from our nation the invaders with these serious risk too our nation is tyranny.
They aren't being charitable. They have no right to be charitable risking our lives, our kids lives, and our grandkids lives, with their corporate lobbied for human trafficking into the United States of America.
No they don’t remember a damn thing. I remember the involuntary hospitalization and I also remember quarantine and polio and encephalitis and other things spread by mosquitoes.
I posted here two days ago about the dangers of TB. Much the same as you. I remember it though I was a kid in the 50s it made an impression on me. My parents knew it well as did their parents.
Never more than a generation away from losing our liberty and never more than a generation away from forgetting hard learned lessons.
Rush cited some poll today about the millennials... They think government is too big, too inefficient with too many regulations but they intend to vote demorat. He is right about them being skulls full of mush though I think it is closer to excrement.
