Adorable how loser is screeching for attention. :)
Data on the outbreak from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) show that 67 active TB cases and 79 latent cases have been reported since the beginning of 2024 in Wyandotte and Johnson counties, which are part of the greater Kansas City area. Most of the cases have been in Wyandotte County. KDHE says it has been working with local health departments in response to the outbreak and is following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure patients are receiving proper treatment.

"The current Kansas City, Kan. Metro tuberculosis (TB) outbreak is the largest documented outbreak in U.S. history, presently (since the 1950’s, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started monitoring and reporting TB cases)," KDHE communications director Jill Bronaugh told CIDRAP News in an email. "This outbreak is still ongoing, which means that there could be more cases."

There has been a breakdown in public health, so we will see more and more contagious disease outbreaks. trump and Kennedy have promised a "pause" to fighting contagious diseases, which would mean that any contagious disease would have a free hand to spread.

This could be extremely bad.
 
The result of the Democrats flooding the U.S. with millions of unvetted, untested, infected foreigners. I suspect that is why bedbugs have also returned.

Once upon a time, Bedbugs were a mythical creature in a cute bedtime rhyme. Not anymore.
