Tuberculosis outbreak latest: what you need to know
 
Kansas is facing the largest recorded tuberculosis outbreak in U.S. history, according to local health officials.

As of Jan. 24, there have been 67 confirmed cases of active TB including 60 in Wyandotte County and seven in Johnson County, according to the Kanas Department of Health and Environment.
 
Additionally, there are 79 confirmed latent TB cases, including 77 in Wyandotte County and two in Johnson County. Wyandotte County contains part of Kansas City and Johnson County is just southwest of Kansas City.
 
Cases linked to the outbreak were first reported in January 2024, according to KDHE. So far, there have been two deaths related to the outbreak, both of which occurred last year.

"The current Kansas City, Kan. Metro tuberculosis (TB) outbreak is the largest documented outbreak in U.S. history, presently (since the 1950s, when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started monitoring and reporting TB cases)," KDHE said in a statement. "This outbreak is still ongoing, which means that there could be more cases."

"Last year, the U.S. saw more than 8,700 cases of TB, according to CDC data. Although TB cases have been steadily declining since the mid 1990s, rates increased in 2021, 2022 and 2023, with 2023 matching pre-pandemic levels."

What a "coincidence" those numbers are the same as the rise of illegals under democrat open borders!  Go figure!

Global Climate Change, not illegal immigration, is responsible for the increase in TB cases.

It's only a matter of time before Governor Greaseball of Cali recommends that TB vicitims should be able to sue Exxon-Mobil.
