Among the risk factors for TB, a bacterial infection of lungs that can result in death, is having been born abroad in or traveled to countries with high TB rates, including India, Vietnam and the Philippines

Aren't open borders grand?

To understand why all one has to do is visit an ER, DMV or and public assistance office in this valley.

We're a 'nation of immigrants' doncha know.

In the Mission District, there is the same per capita TB rate as Mexico, which globally is pretty high.

GOSH I WONDER WHY.

I avoid movie theaters in Silicon Valley. One can get concentrated dose of TB infection. Offices are another place, avoid skinny.

The devolution of Western society. TB and smallpox were almost totally eradicated. Now, they are coming back.

What will our children's children know of the achievements of their ancestors? Will they know we went to the moon? Eradicated most infectious diseases? Nearly destroyed malaria with DDT? Or will all of that be lost in the mists of time, to an uneducated, Lord of the Flies type society, living in the tattered remains of their ancestors' civilization?

"… having been born abroad in or traveled to countries with high TB rates, including India, …"

Last weekend I participated in a garage sale at a friend's home in Santa Clara county. Half the people who came were Indians from India. The county has been taken over by Asians (2/3rds of he populace are Asian of all types including Indians). If I knew about this TB thing and the large numbers of Indians there, I might not have participated in the garage sale. Thankfully, no one coughed on me. These people are cheapskates, nickel and diming me down to almost nothing, and then after money changes hands, coming back and trying to get more without paying any more. Cheapskates! (I'm speaking of the foreigners, not the American-born Indians.)

“180,000 people in the county have the disease in latent form”

OMG!

That’s one out of every ten people.

I can’t believe this is happening.

When will the collectivists scream that the, “risk assessments” are racist?
