NYC sees largest increase in tuberculosis cases in 26 years
NY Post ^ | March 26, 2018 | Carl Campanile

The number of tuberculosis cases in New York City suddenly jumped by 10 percent last year — the largest increase since 1992, according to the Health Department.

TB is a highly infectious bacterial disease that largely attacks the lungs, but can also infect and spread to other organs, including the kidneys, spine or brain.

"...TB disproportionately affects foreign-born New Yorkers — accounting for 86 percent of all cases in the city.

Many of the infected city residents came from China, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India or Mexico..."

And the areas most infected by TB in NYC exactly correspond to the areas where these diseased illegals live. Flushing = Chinese, Sunset Park = Hispanic, western Queens is a mixture. NOW YOU SEE WHY WE NEED THE WALL---do we need to have active TB carriers in our midst? Do you want your kids to sit in a classroom filled with active TB cases? I well remember getting notices from the school nurse, WELL into the semester, warning me not to let So & So into my class because they lacked required vaccinations. They had been allowed to sit in the class next to the other kids plenty long enough for them to have infected everyone. Why the school nurse waited months to send out this notice was always beyond me.

from the article:

“There were 613 reported cases in 2017, compared to 556 in 2016.

TB has been on the decline in the city since peaking at 3,811 cases in 1992....

“The TB rate in NYC is 7.5 per 100,000 persons, more than double the provisional 2017 national rate of 2.8 per 100,000 persons,”

Yes, they are. ‘Burlington, Vermont epidemiologists at the Vermont Department of Health are concealing the number of refugees with contagious active tuberculosis nearly a month after Watchdog reported that more than one-third of Vermont’s resettled refugees test positive for TB.’ This was in June 2016.

318 of 900 refugees admitted tested positive. Each one has to be given medicine daily and observed by a nurse.

I had TB. I lived and worked in the following countries:

1 USA
2 Iran
3 Venezuela
4 United Kingdom
5 Norway
6 Oman
7 Ireland (that is where the first symptoms presented shortly after Oman)
8 Nigeria
9 Bolivia
9 France
9 Egypt

I do not know where I caught it, but my bet is Oman.

That is why we need the wall so we only have legals coming in. That way you can quarantine them..

Remember when all immigrants were screened by a MD for TB and other dangerous infections? Why is it a 3rd world country can require a traveler to get a bunch of vaccines before entering their country, yet a person with Ebola can freely enter the US.

NYC sees largest increase in tuberculosis cases in 26 years

Thank you so much, dear cuddly, illiterate undocumented "refugees."
And thanks also to the elected criminals and other imbeciles.

Wasn't that around the time that Ronald Reagan was suckered by the Dim-o-cratics into a "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" ---- that wasn't?
I was surprised recently to learn that there are actually 12 different ways to lie...
