Seems Something Is Lurking Out There

TB is in the news,

There's another high-profile tuberculosis case here in Colorado, but this time the results are deadly.

Kalpana Dangol, 19, went to Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs early Friday morning complaining of abdominal pain. She died that afternoon. Now health officials are trying to track down anyone she had close contact with so they can be tested for TB.

Dangol was from Nepal. She was a nursing student at CSU-Pueblo. Health officials aren't releasing her name, but they think she got the disease outside the U.S. and if she was contagious at all, it would only have been in the last four months. Unlike the Atlanta man being treated for a drug resistant form of TB at National Jewish in Denver, health officials say she didn't fly while infected.

Ever wonder why now? Open borders makes anything possible.
