>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."

Goddamn it, how can a medieval disease appear in a highly developed country like Canada today? It's 2016, after all.
In any case, it's good that their no general risk to the public. We can totally trust what the authorities have to say in the matter.

>medieval disease
Kys
Was it brought in by a refugee?
Actually we'll never know. That's a question that can't be asked in today's Canada. Therefore answer = yes
>>76608935
Some refugees here in germany also caused a minor outbreak of Tuberculosis

and the left loves to demonize anyone who doesn't want this kind of shit in their town
fucking monsters
80 anti vaxxers?
>TB
COME ON
IT'S 2016
>>76608935
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)
>>76608935
Here's a map of the prevalence of TB around the world.
>>76608935
No big deal, I doubt its the drug resistant TB.
TB can be cured easily if you complete and stick with the medication course.
>>76609497
Would be fun to hear it was brought by a fire fighter from SA.
Fuck, is Barton street still okay? It's coming close to the end of the month.
>>76609819
the funny thing is, abos get it at like 40x the rate that the rest of the country.
>>76609660
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.
>>76608935
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.
>>76609936
Drug resistant TB is becoming more and more common though.
And guess where it's coming from.
>>76610106
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.
>>76610232
Rhodesia did nothing wrong.
>>76610340
Nope, they actually went about things more humanely than SA but the international Je... ah I mean hippy element got to them first.
>>76609596
of course they did...i feel so enriched with all these shitnigger diseases from the third world

Wew lad
>>76610902
Typical south african munt!
The only country that has a strike season.
Always want to negotiate after they have signed on the dotted line.
>>76608935
There was an outbreak in the migrant fortune camp north of Paris. They had to dismantle it.
>>76610902
>>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.
>>76608935
>Catholics
Nothing of value was lost.
>>76611658
>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.
>>76609497
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.
Hamilton fag reporting in. Rip me
>>76608935
20-40% of refugees have TB.
>>76612170
Gladly. Also Halton fag here. This city sure is a ride
>>76609497
>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.
>>76615186
Yeah, it's pretty worrying what is happening.

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.
>>76609936
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.
>>76615186
This is fucking why we need to be careful about refugees, but the idiots don't understand the safety hazard.
Hamiltonian here
Why hasn't CHCH talked about this at all?
Fuck me, They won't say anything about the person with TB
>>76608935
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.
>>76612170
Mountain or downtown
>>76615899
Another hamilton fag here some refugee probally brought tb here we need to "delouse" them like we did back in the 30s and 40s

Don't know. It's in the Spec.
>>76610034
Unlikely
The South African firefighters are on strike.

>>76616382
Make a separate thread.
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.
>>76616382
fucking kek

>>76616554
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
>>76616554
>stay at home mom
Looks like she's catchin nuts from refugees man.
>>76608935
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.
Our outbreak hasnt had new cases in months.

>>76608935
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
>>76608935
>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.
>>76616427
Yea it's actually fucking startling. I've even met Hamiltonians by accident on 4chan 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.
>>76617668
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.
Partner was fine.
