exposure prompts notifications to 600 valley residents
September 9, 2008


Today, Barbara Cole, director of disease control with the county health department, confirmed that about 600 notifications were mailed out to Coachella Valley residents Aug. 12 following reports of a tuberculosis exposure.


Cole declined to specify where the exposure may have occurred.

So far, however, spokespersons for Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs and John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Indio have said there has been no cases of tuberculosis at their facilities or have had any patients come in for testing because of the notification.

Why can't Americans SUE hospitals for putting us in this position? Seems illegal aliens sue at the drop of a hat for the most assinine reasons, why the hell can't we?!?! Why can't we sue the federal government/states/towns for allowing and enabling illegal aliens to sneak in unchecked, exposing us to God knows what?!?!?!?!?!

Would be nice to sue the pudding out of everyone responsible for this mess, but it seems the only ones (countries) that could afford these kind of lawsuits are China, the oil-rich countries of the Middle East and probably Russia as well--not our best friends.

The Center for Disease Control has sent 600 notifications to Coachella Valley residents warning of possible Tuberculosis exposure.

According to a CDC spokeswoman, no linkages have been found at this time and no cases of TB have been reported at valley health facilities.

In San Bernardino County, a tuberculosis patient remains in medical isolation tonight after county health officials suspected the patient was not taking medication and going to work. It's the first time in county history such an action has been taken. The patient's name and gender have not been released.

A couple of years ago they had to do this to an illegal in Santa Barbara County, they actually isolated him in the County Jail for three months, then deported him. But before they isolated him he had infected 50 other "migrants", of course we had to pay for their health care also. His nickname was "El Diablo". This is what our traitors in DC support.
