Three active cases of tuberculosis have popped up in Maine, following an increase of the disease in the United States since 2020 — most of it among those not born in the U.S. — after three decades of decline, national data reveals.
Lindsay Hammes, spokesperson for the Maine Center for Disease Control, told the Portland Press Herald that the agency was “aware of three active TB cases with links to the Greater Portland area and is in the midst of conducting our typical response.”
She added that the cases do not appear be transmitted between those three persons and each came from a separate source. Meanwhile, city and state officials told the newspaper rumors of an outbreak at the Portland shelter for asylum seekers are untrue.
However, data clearly shows that most of the TB cases in the United States are among those born elsewhere in the world.
In the U.S. in 2024, 10,347 cases were reported of the disease, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s a rate of 3 cases per 100,000 of the population, part of the trajectory after an all time low in 2020 which began increasing in 2021 and has continued through at least 2024. more

That’s what you call a clue.
And did the U.S. born 1/4 contract it from the foreign born 3/4?

We had to visit an ER here in NorCali earlier this summer. The place was packed. There were two patients the staff would wear a hazmat suite if they were around them. Just sitting there with the rest of us. If you can avoid it don’t go the the ER.
Gee, I don’t know; what did happen to Ellis Island?
It’s NOT the deadly disease it once was 100 years ago. It is easily treatable with antibiotics if detected before it advances too far.

Funny how the most qualified person for the job is always conveniently related to the Democrat in charge, innit?
