Despite concerns about the potential public health crisis posed by immigrant children crossing the Texas-Mexico border, medical experts say the likelihood of their spreading disease is low. Still, experts in emergency preparedness are urging health care providers and Texas to get ready for many children who may need basic medical care

Now you know why Ubama won’t go to one of these interment camps. He doesn’t want to get TB or scurvy.
Good on ya. Did you suggest she make a personal visit to one of these camps along with her children?
United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Influenza
Influenza type b (Hib)
Measles
Meningococcal
Mumps
Pneumococcal
Pertussis
Polio
Rotavirus
Rubella
Tetanus and diphtheria toxoids
Varicella
In order to assist the panel physican, and to avoid delays in the processing of an immigrant visa, all immigrant visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for the panel physician’s review at the time of the immigrant medical examination. Visa applicants should consult with their regular health care provider to obtain a copy of their immunization record, if one is available. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement. Certain waivers of the vaccination requirement are available upon the recommendation of the panel physician.
I think scurvy cannot be spread, it is a deficiency disease. Scurvy is caused by a severe lack of vitamin C.
Not to say....he wouldn’t spread his own communicables to the illegals. ;)
Thank you for the correction. I guess that makes me about as much of a medical professional as Seema Yasmin and Sherry Richardson.

GEESH. You can’t bring a dog in, without a quarantine.
The older I get, the less I trust in the predictions of ‘Experts’.
Not to worry darling.
What the doc on Judge Janine said, last night, the CDC isn’t even sending out warnings to the public [in Texas] on what to be watchful of.
Be safe down there.
America is full of incompetent faux “experts” on everything who think the rest of us are grunting morons. Sadly, probably 40% are just that.
Why he didn’t use a teleprompter....I’ll never know. The presentation was good....but would have been more impressive, if it was a radio-cast, :I

” because you have a brain and know how to use it.”
Apparently, you have not spoken to my wife.....:)
Not that we don't have our own health concerns around here. Just last week a high school in Sacramento reported about a hundred cases of TB.
And this is while SUMMER SCHOOL is in session.
Then, of course we have the whole health concerns as it relates to sexual activities practiced in San Francisco, LA, Hollywood, etc.
I'm just happy that my time on this planet is temporary. It's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to spend eternity here.
We're in the same boat, brother.
“The general public doesn’t need to be concerned that there are going to be outbreaks of illness due to these immigrant children,” says Dr. Mark Ward, president of the Texas Pediatric Society, which represents 2,800 pediatricians. “Most of these children will not have an illness that puts others at risk.”
Well I'm certainly relieved. If MOST of these hordes of invaders can't create a pandemic then we should relax. 60,000 of these people don't have plagues.

Bringing Pets and Wildlife into the United States
Licensing and Health Requirements
Visitors frequently inquire about traveling with their pets to the United States. All such
importations are subject to health, quarantine, agriculture, wildlife, and customs requirements
and prohibitions. Pets, except for pet birds, taken out of the United States and returned are
subject to the same requirements as those entering for the first time. Returning U.S. origin pet
birds are subject to different import restrictions
than pet birds of non-U.S. origin entering the
United States. For more information on importing pet birds into the United States, see the section ...

I am at the point where I want a new law that automatically puts any government official under oath when they make public statements. If that statement turns out to be untrue (a lie) they must then must face charges.
We live in a Republic (for now). The only way citizens can make informed decisions is if they know the truth. At one time we could depend on the opposition to provide some balance, and/or the media to provide some protection against blatant lies.
We are now living in a country with one party (the ELITE party) and a media whose job it now seems to be to protect that one party.
The few individuals that attempted to stand up to the new ELITE party are first demonized, and if that does not work, the full force of the Federal Government is unleashed on that person. Opposition against the ELITE party is not allowed.
Of course the ELITE party will never write such a law.
History teaches us that a one party system, with suppression of dissent always ends badly.
The ELITE party thinks they are creating utopia, but they are creating chaos. It is going to get worse before it gets better.
Don’t forget the biggest disease of all...
LIBERALISM will be spreading and destroying
all of America...
