I don't want ass tonight
Ok so what they are saying is that due to Strippers Tuberculosis is being spread to people? I mean DUH! Didn't you know that Strippers are the cause of all evil? ugh.
Aw, godammit!!!!!!! :(
I dunno. I mean - it was a stripper. And they weren't trying to say "and if it wasn't for strippers TB wouldn't exist" or "the dirtiness of lapdances spreads the TB".
_Well, the stripper who spread it prolly got it from a non stripper to begin with.
You forgot the "if and only if".
^^^ ooops - you're right, you really know your science...
Sigh, this should concentrate more on testing people who come into our country than the stripper aspect. To get into other countries like Japan, you have to get a PPD or a chest X-ray. Most of our tuberculosis epidemics come from 1) unregulated and untracked immigrants who get it over there because of squalid conditions and poor disease control. They also spread it because they tend to live in very close quarters. 2) the rise in HIV. They're more susceptible to the disease.
We used to have tuberculosis almost wiped out here in the USA. If someone got tuberculosis, we could lock them up in isolation for years and make sure that they took all their meds. However, it was considered against human rights to imprison people against their will. Nowadays, we have to give them rifampin and other powerful antibiotics and hope that they remember to take it for a year straight. Most people don't, so superbugs have evolved.
I am not saying or blaming anything about immigration or AIDS or human rights or anything, I'm simply stating why we have such a problem and how it spreads.
