>About 80 students and staff at St. Jean de Brébeuf Catholic Secondary School have potentially been exposed to active tuberculosis.
>A case has been reported at the Mountain school on Acadia Drive to the city's public health department.
>"Public Health Services has notified most of the people who were potentially exposed and is in the process of notifying the remaining few," it says in a statement. "Notification was done through direct letter with Public Health Services staff available on site at the school and by telephone to answer questions."
>Public health will not provide further details due to privacy reasons including the age of the person infected with TB or where he or she caught the bacteria that most often affects the lungs.
>The department is also not revealing where else the person has spent time in the community.
>TB is a serious infectious disease that is spread person to person through the air.
"There is no significant risk to the broader Hamilton community," says the statement. "Public Health Services has identified all individuals who may have been exposed provided information directly to them on the recommended followup."
and the left loves to demonize anyone who doesn't want this kind of shit in their town
fucking monsters

80 anti vaxxers?

COME ON
IT'S 2016
Connor Gray
The disease problem isn't very significant but it sure is a good talking point. Thank God modern medicine hasn't reached the third world yet (assuming it's a refugee who spread it)
Angel Hernandez
Here's a map of the prevalence of TB around the world.
Grayson Edwards
No big deal, I doubt its the drug resistant TB. TB can be cured easily if you complete and stick with the medication course.
Josiah Gray
Would be fun to hear it was brought by a fire fighter from SA.
Juan Mitchell
Fuck, is Barton street still okay? It's coming close to the end of the month.
Noah Gray
the funny thing is, abos get it at like 40x the rate that the rest of the country.
the left in this country is fucked. they threw a woman under the bus b/c she couldn't play nice when trudeau elbowed her tits.
don't you know that asking questions can be construed as harmful to the general well-being of everyone, and offensive? It's 2016, after all.
>alberta burns >ottawa sinks >steel-town is infected >trudeau & co. are discussing meme ministries and changing our anthem
great time to be alive to witness the second conservative renaissance of Canada, c. 2019.
Oliver Russell
Drug resistant TB is becoming more and more common though. And guess where it's coming from.
Henry James
MY COUNTRY!
YAY, another thing to be proud of.
It came to be because the dumb nogs never finish their medication course. They stop taking the medicine when their symptoms go away so it comes back even stronger.
Bentley Wood
Rhodesia did nothing wrong.
Anthony Bennett
Nope, they actually went about things more humanely than SA but the international Je... ah I mean hippy element got to them first.
Dominic Moore
of course they did...i feel so enriched with all these shitnigger diseases from the third world
>South African firefighters who made international headlines for singing when they arrived in Canada have now turned to protests to dispute the wages they're being paid.
Isaac James
>sign a contract >try to back out after the media says some standard media shit Wew lad
Adam Foster
Typical south african munt! The only country that has a strike season.
Always want to negotiate after they have signed on the dotted line.
Angel Ramirez
There was an outbreak in the migrant fortune camp north of Paris. They had to dismantle it.
Austin Howard
>>South African firefighters who made international headlines for singing when they arrived in Canada have now turned to protests to dispute the wages they're being paid.
Hum. I thought they would have been killed in the fire instead.
I guess I made the mistake of thinking they would do their job in the first place.
Christopher Ross
>Catholics
Nothing of value was lost.
Brayden Hill
>Nothing of value was lost.
I think non-Catholic people can go to the Catholic schools in Ontario. It's paid for by the gov't and it's less shit than the public system. It also mostly secular now, with the exception of one or two class. I think.
Jeremiah Foster
That was pretty good shitposting. Good work little brother. Make sure you hold the Canadians accountable for their faggotry and islamic cuckolding. Proud of you champ.
Carson Moore
Hamilton fag reporting in. Rip me
Aaron Bailey
20-40% of refugees have TB.
Grayson Robinson
Gladly. Also Halton fag here. This city sure is a ride
Evan Cook
>was it brought in by a refugee
This disease literally does not exist in civilized countries, it just doesn't. So it has to come from some shithole.
James James
Yeah, it's pretty worrying what is happening.

James Brown
The vaccine for TB isn't very effective, and it's only given in in Europe because its so shitty. Plus, it removes the ability for us to do a quick TB test to see if you have been exposed or not, because once you get the vaccine, you always have antibodies.
The treatment takes almost a year to complete, and I've heard of 2 year treatment regimens. Plus, the drugs are incredibly toxic to the body.
This is fucking why we need to be careful about refugees, but the idiots don't understand the safety hazard.
Jordan Murphy
Hamiltonian here
Why hasn't CHCH talked about this at all?
Evan Brown
Fuck me, They won't say anything about the person with TB
Evan Allen
Sure glad I got those vaccinations. Anti vac people are probably shifting their pants now. >How can this happen Dunno. Prepare for your child to die though.
Jace Watson
Mountain or downtown
Chase Sanchez
Another hamilton fag here some refugee probally brought tb here we need to "delouse" them like we did back in the 30s and 40s

Oliver Bailey
Make a separate thread.
Caleb Carter
wife had bloodwork done for some unrelated ailment and they called yesterday and said they found latent tb in her blood. we live in the country and don't really go to many crowded places, and she's stay at home mom so no idea how she would have been exposed. we think it's a false positive but have another check up with a specialist in a few days to confirm. i think it's a false though.
2 billion people have latent TB, it could very well be she contracted it from a 3rd world migrant while grocery shopping or something
US and Canada are letting in all these fucking Somalians and Eritreans and shit and they're bringing their TB with them
Charles Morales
>stay at home mom Looks like she's catchin nuts from refugees man.
Ryan Long
My GF works for a county health department on the west coast as an epidemiology intern. We recently had a TB outbreak that effected the homeless population.
She says its basically passed around because homeless people are the least likely to get medical treatment. If they are positive, they have to quarantine them in a motel for like 3 months so it doesnt spead.
haha get fucked Canada enjoy your rapefugees and all the benefits they bring with them
Robert Baker
what happened America you used to be cool :(
Chase Thompson
I did, enjoy!
Liam Cook
That dumbass forgot we don't have a northern border wall.

100 dollars says it came from one of weedmans refugees.
Colton Martin

up
sheeple
Noah Stewart
If I remember correctly, half of the world has tuberculosis. Its all about staying healthy enough for it to stay latent and not be able to progress.
>yfw the mycobacterium tuberculosis species has achieved a bigger evolutionary success than the human species
Samuel Anderson
>exposed It'll be news if 80 are infected. Just walk into any random nursing home and you'll be exposed to TB, just walk into any random hospital and you'll be exposed to a bunch shit.
William Hughes
Yea it's actually fucking startling. I've even met Hamiltonians by accident on Sup Forums Minecraft servers and whatnot.
Every time our city is mentioned, the prevalence of Hamiltonians stating which part of the city they're from is really unreal.
Angel Gutierrez
One of my partners on the ambulance did chest compression on a guy that had blood shooting out of his nose and mouth with every compression. Got all over my partner and they told us he had TB only after the event ended.
