When I saw the headline, I thought this article was about communism.

Driving people into crowded cities and use of crowded "public" transportation increases the probability of spreading between infected individuals. Misuse of antibiotics expands the probability of multiple drug resistant strains.

My great great grandparents in Ysbty Ystwyth, Wales both succumbed to TB. My great grandfather and his sisters were too young to retain legal ownership of the family home. They were taken in by "Uncle Dave" in Lllanfihangel-y-Creuddyn until they opted to emigrate to the U.S. at their own expense. My great grandfather signed on as "ship's company" on a vessel leaving Liverpool. On arrival to the USA, he reconnected with his future wife in Pittsburgh and served in the Union army from 1863 to 1865.

SunkenCiv and I have signed the petition to have our Prince Madoc plaque re-installed at Fort Morgan.

"We the undersigned are petitioning the Alabama Parks Department to return the commemorative plaque for the Welsh Prince Madoc (Madog) to the original spot on Mobile Bay. The plaque was erected in 1953 by the Daughters of the American Revolution commemorating the theory that a Welsh prince and his followers were the first Europeans to set foot on the North American continent. The plaque reads In memory of Prince Madog, a Welsh explorer, who landed on the shores of Mobile Bay in 1170 and left behind, with the Indians, the Welsh language. Plaques have been erected at the ancient port of Aber-Kerrik at Rhos-on-Sea in North Wales where Prince Madog was to have departed on his expedition. Shouldn't there be one where he was to have landed?"

Flu too? Many other findings also suggested to Cannell's team that flu vulnerability might be tempered by adequate vitamin D intake. The researchers have marshaled data, gleaned from 120 or so reports over the past 70 years, suggesting a link between vitamin D and resistance to infections.

By trade, I am an analytical person, and noticed the connection myself.

Perhaps you read my earlier post that supports these views:

"Perhaps you read my earlier post that supports these views: "

Nah.(Does not)

Read the article I linked in post #2 that I posted in 2006...that was my first hint.

I take 50,000 IU of vitamin D a week...doctors orders.

Tuberculosis - How effective is cod liver oil?

Snip: 1,077 individuals with consumption (tuberculosis) were enrolled to participate in the study conducted by physicians at the Hospital for Consumption, Chelsea…

Results from the study revealed that between the two groups, improvement rates were similar, the disease was stabilized in 18% of participants who received cod liver oil, in comparison with only 6% of participants in the control group. In the control group deterioration or death occurred in 33% of patients compared with 19% of patients given cod liver oil.

Majority of new HIV,TB, hepatitis B cases found in immigrants (Britain)

Snip: And, almost two-thirds of newly diagnosed cases of HIV and 80 per cent of hepatitis B infected blood donors in 2010 were born abroad, says the report which adds that 12 per cent of people living in Britain in 2010 were born abroad -- up from 8 per cent in 2001.

My great grandparents were late to the table in forming the USA. My paternal grandmother's family arrived on the Mayflower. My maternal grandparents trace all the way back to Jamestown...Priscilla Mullins and John Alden. The Welsh members of the family arrived in the USA because TB essentially ravaged the family. There were better opportunities in the USA.

Thanks for the link. Blwydden Newydd Dda! Cyru am Bydd! It's a wonderful country. Too bad that it is so steeped in socialism that I could never consider living there. I'm thankful that my great grandfather had to foresight to escape the wicked English landlords and mine owners. My family made a living making shoes, tending sheep, butchering sheep, selling wool and mining lead. My great great grandmother urged my great grandfather to "avoid the evil shoe business". He followed her recommendation and made a fine living in the US as a metallurgist assisting the railroads and mining businesses.

Wales has the hightest concentration of type 'O' blood than anywhere else in the world.
