Influx Of Nighor Immigrants Causing Tuberculosis Revival In London-Celebrate Diversity!

Tuberculosis is staging a comeback in London, where some neighborhoods suffer infection rates found in African countries in which the disease is endemic. The number of cases surged 50 percent in the 10 years to 2009, according to a National Health Service agency.

Gee, I wonder why? hahahahahaLOL

The airborne bacteria has taken root in a population of recent immigrants, addicts and homeless who live close to affluent business districts and may pose a risk for those they rub elbows with.
“You wouldn’t expect to see that,” says Brian McCloskey, the Health Protection Agency’s regional director for London. “TB is one of the biggest public health problems we have.”
One hotspot is Tower Hamlets, a borough that draws together Canary Wharf, the home of some of Europe’s largest banks, and pockets of poverty that stretch along the Thames’ old docks east of the Tower of London and north past Whitechapel, where Jack the Ripper preyed on prostitutes in 1888.

OH NOZ! They're gong to infect England's lovely banking community! Not that! LOL

After a worker at a Canary Wharf bank fell ill in 2010, Julian Surey, a nurse at Tower Hamlets Tuberculosis Service in East London, says he was sent with colleagues to her office to screen 14 of her co-workers, a challenge in an open-space environment where employees share keyboards and telephones.

“They were hot-desking and it was a nightmare,” Surey says. “People did get concerned.” Some workers demanded to see private doctors rather than be tested and treated by the state- run NHS, the 37-year-old nurse recalled. One person who sat next to the original patient contracted TB, according to Surey. He declined to identify the bank, as did other nurses.

So, how's that diversity working out for ya? ROFL

“If they don’t take their medicine, they could become infectious again,” says Surey, who recently chased down a young addict after she absconded from a Royal London Hospital ward during treatment. “I went out on my bike and found her, bloodied and drunk on Brick Lane, leaning against a lamppost.”

Typical London resident. Such a fine place to live.
