CHICAGO, IL — The Chicago Department of Public Health has confirmed a "small number" of tuberculosis cases at the city's migrant shelters, according to multiple news reports


The health department could not say how many tuberculosis cases there are, NBC reported, but officials said there are no reports of TB cases in the city that have come from an exposure to migrants who tested positive for the disease.

A spokesman for the Chicago Department of Public Health told NBC there are about 100 to 150 TB cases in the city each year, adding that he "would not characterize this as an outbreak."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Is "small number" newspeak like demonstrations (riots) were "mostly peaceful?" :whistle:
