47's government being a menace to the whole world again. Tuberculosis in prisons means tuberculosis everywhere.
"Detainees have tested positive for tuberculosis at the Anchorage Correctional Complex in Alaska and Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California, according to news reports. ...
"Tuberculosis thrives in carceral settings of all kinds. It spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or spits, and it only takes a few droplets to sicken someone. ...
"Almost everyone who contracts it needs treatment to survive, and those who do may live with lungs so damaged they struggle to breathe. ...
"Anyone in ICE custody with symptoms suggestive of tuberculosis is supposed to be placed into an airborne infection isolation room with negative pressure ventilation ...
"But ICE detention facilities don’t necessarily have such rooms ... The typical solitary cell does not use negative pressure, detention and medical researchers said. ...
"Experts expect the situation to get much worse in the months ahead. That’s because Trump’s drive to deport one million people hasn’t yet coincided with the height of flu season, or the GOP’s recent cuts to the health care system, or its exclusion of undocumented immigrants from several social programs."
