The latest report by HarborView is that TB is up sharply among the homeless community this year because they are forced to sleep in cramped quarters in a shelter and breathe the same oxygenated air. There is a mandatory quaranteened period if one is symptomatic and will undergo numerous blood cultures in a 4 day holding period. Once determined if the individual has contracted T.B, they are given a prescripted medication(not A cure), to help combat their virus and let back out into the public. Most carriers of TB don’t give a damn about giving it to other people around them. The scary thing is that you don’t know who has it around you and hopes no one sneezes within fifteen feet from you. You can get TB just by breathing it in.

I personally have a rare auto-imnnuno deficiency illness which requires life-long infusions which isn’t A cure. I am very nervous being around dirty individuals with nasty habits. Thank gawd I am not on medicaid and have better insurance to pay for my $2,500 an infusion treatments. But one day soon, it will be cut too I’m afraid.
